About the Artist Reed Evins

As a child in his father’s shoe factory, while under his desk, Reed often played with shoe ornaments and pieces of leather. He would deconstruct the ornaments, and with the leather, reconstruct them into new shoe designs. Reed quickly realized he had his own creative vision, and that with his hands, he could create anything.

During his career as a shoe designer, scissors became instrumental in cutting paper patterns. Reed applied this skill to his original art, and inspired by his love of dogs, created my first hand-cut dog portrait. Word spread, and Reed was able to assemble an extensive portfolio of commissions.

The American Kennel Club soon took notice and started selling prints of Reed’s original dog portraits. The concept of incorporating his dog art on other items became irresistible, so Reed created a collection of gifts for dog lovers.

Find Your Zen with Mindful Slow Entertainment

Jigsaw puzzles are a great way to unwind. They demand attention which makes doing them, both absorbing and meditative at the same time. When concentrating on creative pursuits like art, craft or indeed jigsaw puzzles, you subconsciously tune out other distracting thoughts. In essence, your mind goes blank. Furthermore this quieting of the mind is highly therapeutic and forms the basis of meditation practice in eastern religions and philosophies. In Zen Buddhism, every action can become a source of meditation. From simply walking to making things, to doing jigsaws. The art of Zen is to dedicate your mind and thoughts only to the action that you are doing now.
