PINEBERRY MOON
With a deep appreciation of all things whimsical, we create art, stationery and gifts that dare to dream, empower and celebrate each individual journey - in their own time and space.

From the Artist and Founder, Chrystalla Volkes
I’ve been drawing since I could hold a pencil, and I’ve loved stationery for just as long — I have birthday cards and notes that I saved from first grade and beyond - they are cherished keepsakes.
Growing up in Toronto, I studied Fashion Design and spent my days sketching, designing and sewing.
But life took me in another direction, and art quietly took a back seat. It wasn’t until the pandemic that I found my way back...

Just as lockdowns began, we started to understand more about the way my daughter experiences the world — her beautifully unique way of thinking, sensing, and being — and I started to see myself more clearly too.
So much of my own story came into focus and I didn’t want her to grow up trying to shrink herself to fit into spaces that were never meant for her. I wanted to model a different path — and in doing so, I found my way back to myself.
And so, Pineberry Moon was born — as a love letter to my daughter, and to all of us daring to forge our own path.

Today, I live and work in the wild and beautiful hills of New Brunswick, Canada with my husband, daughter, our goofy Goldendoodle and chickens.
My joyful little business has a simple mission: to create meaningful, high-quality pieces that empower and add a touch of magic to the everyday. As Pineberry Moon’s artist and Founder, I hand-illustrate every design and bring each idea to life with care.
I hope you find something here that makes you feel seen — and I'm always listening if you’d like to share your thoughts along the way.
