The Artwork That Started It All

A quiet beginning. A gentle presence. A piece of the story behind Little Drift Co.

A gentle manatee drifts through soft seagrass in this original watercolor by artist and founder Heidi Stavinga, the very first artwork that became the heart of the First Drift collection.

Printed on rich, textured 100% cotton watercolor paper and matted in a classic white veneer mat, this fine art print brings a sense of calm, beauty, and stillness to any nursery or child’s room.

It’s more than a print.
It’s the beginning of everything.

From the Artist

This manatee was painted during the quiet beginning of my journey, long before there was a collection or a brand. It represents the calm, tenderness, and hope behind everything I create today.

 Heidi

Not just art for a nursery.
A keepsake from their earliest days.
