Meet the Founder
Yvette Stancil
Founder & Chief Executive
“Functional objects deserve to carry stories.”
My Mission
Make original art accessible.
For more than 17 years in the promotional products industry, I watched talented artists struggle to gain recognition while discerning collectors searched endlessly for meaningful pieces. Over time, the gap became clear: beautiful, original artwork should live on something you use every day.
Nearly two decades in the making, that is why I created Artisan Sweet.
Biography
The bridge between artists and everyday objects.
After more than 17 years in the promotional products industry serving local government clients, Yvette Stancil noticed a disconnect. Drinkware appeared in homes everywhere and was used daily, yet talented artists creating exceptional designs had no reliable way to reach consumers who wanted meaningful, curated pieces. That gap became the foundation of Artisan Sweet.
Yvette built the company around a single conviction: functional objects deserve to carry stories. Artisan Sweet partners with artists to feature their original artwork on select drinkware, transforming everyday pieces into curated art.
Yvette spent nearly two decades refining the skills behind Artisan Sweet: artist partnership development, supplier relationship management, and the storytelling that connects makers with the right consumers.
“You are not just collecting drinkware; you are becoming a patron of working artists.”
