Attitudegray is about reclamation.
Discarded objects. Bright color. Gratitude. Imperfection. Renewal.
I create layered, colorful work from what might otherwise be overlooked — worn surfaces, packaging, found objects, and the quiet pull of intuition. What begins as castoff becomes pattern, rhythm, meditation, and story.
This is a place for art, reflection, and creative becoming.
Come in. Look around. See what still has life in it.
Welcome to Attitudegray
Attitudegray is where discarded things, bright color, gratitude, and second chances meet.
I am JoAnn Teel — an artist, writer, creative maker, and lifelong seeker of meaning in the ordinary. My work begins with what others might overlook: packaging, worn objects, castoffs, scraps, and surfaces waiting to become something more. Through color, pattern, repetition, and intuition, I reclaim them.
This site is part gallery, part journal, part creative record of becoming.
Here, you’ll find artwork created from a place of gratitude, writing that reflects the view from where I stand now, and pieces that celebrate the beauty of imperfection. Attitudegray is not about perfection. It is about renewal. It is about noticing what still has life in it. It is about turning what was set aside into something vibrant, layered, and full of energy.
Take a look around.
