Meet the Artist: Rachel Lancaster - The Chanterelle

MEET THE ARTIST: Rachel Lancaster is a Winnipeg Mural Artist. If you can dream it, she can paint it. 

The Chanterelle design gets its name from the golden chanterelle mushroom, infamously difficult to cultivate, mostly grown in the wild, and highly-prized for its unique flavor and aroma, making them a favorite among chefs and food enthusiasts.  Featuring vivid colors of the fungi in the mushroom forests of Colorado, this design is irresistibly one-of-a-kind. 

You can find this best-selling design on the Vegan Jogger, Vegan Trekk Boot, Belt Bag, and Backpack.
