| Summer Ortiz, Ordinary Day, lithograph and watercolor, 2009 |
After Summer Ortiz graduated from UNT in 2009 with a BFA in printmaking, she founded Signifying Not:
The brand first arose from a lack of the kind of clothing and art that we wanted to wear ourselves. From there, it grew—and continues to grow—into something new and different all the time. We are always expanding with new products, new designs, and new directions.Summer draws her inspiration mainly from fairy tales, literature, cabinets of curiosity, medical anomalies, anatomical studies, and Victorian postmortem photography. She lives and works in Dallas, Texas.
