Suzanne Villella: The Artist Behind the Deck
Suzanne embarked on this artistic journey with a clear vision: to intertwine her love for Arizona with her passion for art. Drawing inspiration from the state’s natural beauty, cultural heritage, and iconic symbols, she meticulously crafted each card to reflect the wonders of Arizona. This project is Suzanne’s tribute to the place she calls home, an invitation to explore Arizona’s stories through a playful, artistic medium.
Art That Tells Your Story
Imagine your home adorned with framed canvas prints of “Cats!” or “Sparky!“—a nod to your alma mater, a piece of your journey. Picture a “Harvest Moon” metal print capturing the serene autumn evenings of Arizona, or a “Still and Chill” tote bag reminding you of tranquil escapes to the northern woods. Each piece of merchandise, from spiral notebooks to jigsaw puzzles, carries a fragment of Arizona’s story, inviting you to weave your narrative into its fabric. Whether you’re an ASU grad cherishing memories with “Sparky!” or a UArizona alum displaying “Cats!” with pride, these art pieces transform your space, celebrating your connection to Arizona in the most personal, artistic way.
Create Your Own Arizona Story
With Arizona Ante, every item you bring into your home or gift to a friend becomes a testament to your journey and love for Arizona. From the spirited “Musical Mariachi Jack” that ignites musical heritage to the adventurous “Jack of All Trails” that echoes the call of the wild, each design is an opportunity to share a story, to celebrate a moment, to live the beauty of Arizona every day. Dive into the Arizona Ante collection and let the art of Suzanne Villella inspire your story.
