At ADG we know that developing successful products requires more than great art and design. It requires teamwork, collaboration and a comprehensive understanding of today’s market.

Before we show you any artwork, we make sure to ask you what you need. What currently works? What do you wish you had in your line, but haven't quite found the right art to make it work? What can be improved upon when licensing art for your products?

Our strength is listening to YOU. We take the time to get to know you so that we can custom tailor the best solutions for your needs.

We are proud to represent a group of talented artists and designers who share our commitment to building long-term working relationships with our licensees. We hope you enjoy looking through this booklet, and invite you to let us know what sparks your interest.

michael shelton

Michael’s realistic style is inspired at the beach near his home on Florida’s coast, his saltwater fish, and memories of time with his grandfather playing with trains and rebuilding antique cars. Decades designing holiday cards has led to his command of that product line.

mary tanana

Mary’s style is best expressed through intricate pattern work with a boho, edgy flair. She is inspired by her sketch books consolidating more than 30 years of travel with a global mix of culturally and ethnically diverse influences.

suzy toronto

debi payne

Debi's art career started when she sent a number of positive themed images, created for her own workspace, out into the world. She believes “It’s not the number of people that we meet, but the number of hearts we touch.” When somebody looks at her art and smiles, her work is done.

heather brockman lee

Heather grew up lost in her imagination and has been an artist ever since. She tries to infuse each image with just a little magic. If she isn’t creating, she’ll be with her family hiking the beautiful Rocky Mountain foothills near her Colorado home or hanging with the bees in her garden.
