Originals Paper Art celebrated it’s 10th anniversary this year. It’s had many faces through the years: a retail store with classes (in Kirksville, MO), a retail wedding studio (in Columbia, MO), an in-home design studio, and now it’s back into an office space in Kirksville as a full-service creative studio.

Brooke + Allen Goans

Allen and I moved to Kirksville, MO from Seattle, WA in 1999 to help with the family farm. We savor the simple life here in the midwest, live a very active lifestyle, love to travel and worship the great outdoors.
We both have a graphic arts background. I attended the Art Institute of Seattle, worked as a designer for three In-house Design Departments and then the Art Department for a Seattle print shop. Allen has over 20 years of print experience, is an incredible bookbinder and is my Production Department when it comes to assembling finished products. Together we make a great creative team!
