Why We Create
We create because art is how we speak to the world when words fall short. It’s how we process truth, honor culture, reclaim joy, and connect with others on a deeper level.
At Art Collective International, each piece we make—whether hand-crafted or digitally designed—is a reflection of who we are and what we believe in: beauty with meaning, creativity with purpose, and stories that deserve to be seen and felt.
We don’t just make art to be seen—we make it to resonate, to connect, and to endure.

Lee Hansheng Studios
Where the heart of personal mythology, nature, and cultural memory—woven into fine art, illustration, and mixed media. Melding Asian and Western influences, Hansheng’s work explores the quiet power of landscapes, the resilience of identity, and the timeless presence of art in everyday life. From celestial dreamscapes to temple ruins and political resistance, each piece invites viewers into a world that is deeply felt, richly layered, and unapologetically human.

💫 Our Story, Our Soul
Art Collective International was founded by artists who believe that creativity is more than a skill—it’s a way of life, a form of resistance, and a bridge between cultures.
We are a queer-owned, artist-run collective made up of four studios, each bringing their own voice, vision, and heritage into the work. From handmade jewelry to fine art prints, wearable design to soul-stirring originals, everything we create is rooted in intention, equity, and sustainability.
We price our work fairly to keep art accessible, honor the craft, and support the artists who make it. Because to us, art isn't just something you hang on a wall—it's something you live with. Something that resonates.
Thank you for being here. We’re honored to create with you, for you, and alongside a world that still believes in beauty with meaning.
Behind the Art: Our Process
Every piece we offer—whether it's a hand-poured resin pendant, a vibrant fine art print, a custom illustration, or a piece of wearable art—is created with care, purpose, and deep attention to detail.
Our products span across handcrafted and print-on-demand items, including original paintings, jewelry, tote bags, apparel, and more. Handmade items are lovingly produced in small batches in our studios, using high-quality, ethically sourced materials. Our print-on-demand collections are designed in-house and printed through trusted partners who prioritize sustainability and quality.
We don’t mass produce. Every design starts with a spark of inspiration and goes through a process of sketching, refining, and soul-led creation. Whether you're wearing it, hanging it, or gifting it—you’re getting more than just a product.
You're getting a piece of our story, and now it becomes part of yours.

Art Collective International
Who is ACI?
Art Collective International is more than just a group of artists—it’s a shared vision, a movement, and a living archive of creativity, culture, and care. Founded by working artists who believe in the power of community, ACI is a queer-owned, artist-led collective made up of four distinct studios united by a common purpose: to create meaningful art that speaks to the soul and serves the world.
Each piece we share—whether it’s a painting, sculpture, print, craft, or illustration—is made with intention. Rooted in personal narratives, cultural heritage, activism, and deep respect for the craft, our work is as much about connection as it is about creation.
We’re not here to chase trends. We’re here to honor the timeless.
We’re not driven by mass production. We’re driven by purpose, sustainability, and integrity.
When you support ACI, you’re not just buying art—you’re joining a circle of support for independent artists, queer creatives, and ethically run studios. You're investing in a future where art is valued not just as a product, but as a force for healing, resistance, joy, and change.
Whether you’re a collector, curator, or simply someone who feels deeply—welcome.
This space was built for you.
🌿 Our Values
At ACI, we believe art is more than decoration—it’s a vessel for connection, truth, and change.

Art Isn’t a Trend. It’s a Legacy.
At Art Collective International, we create with soul, not speed. Every piece—whether it’s a one-of-a-kind painting, hand-poured resin jewelry, a meaningful print, or a thoughtfully designed tote—is made to last and to mean something.
This isn’t fast fashion. It’s slow art, wearable expression, and intentional design.
From original works to our print-on-demand collections, everything we offer is rooted in story, culture, and care—crafted by working artists who believe in sustainability, connection, and purpose over profit.
You’re not just buying art. You’re investing in legacy.

🐾 Giving Back with Heart
At Art Collective International, we believe that creativity should serve a greater good. That’s why part of our mission is to give back—to our communities, our planet, and those who often go unseen.
We’re proud to support Adopt Eve’s Dogs, a small but deeply dedicated rescue helping dogs in need find loving homes. Through select art sales and special campaigns, a portion of our proceeds goes directly toward supporting their veterinary costs, supplies, and care.
Because to us, art isn't just about what we create—it's about the impact we make together. When you support ACI, you're not only uplifting artists, you're helping build a world that’s more compassionate, more connected, and more kind.
How to Support Adopt Eve's Dog Rescue
Adopt Eve's Dogs is a non-profit organization in Taiwan dedicated to rescuing and rehoming dogs, especially Formosan Mountain Dog mixes. They provide shelter, medical care, and love to give these animals a second chance at a happy life.

I feel so happy every time I look at the pieces I’ve gotten from these artists over this past year and I’m always excited to see their new pieces at their pop-up events in Richmond. Definitely considering grabbing a few things from their website for gifts this year!

Such fun and unique designs, and items were great quality! Strawberry t-shirt is incredibly soft and comfortable, and my mousepad works great and with an awesome design. Most importantly, I received friendly and attentive customer service. Excited to add to my ACI collection in the future!

First things first, wonderful company with talented individuals who are passionate about their art.
I purchased a couple of items recently from the website and am highly impressed with the details and quality.
The tank that I ordered is very comfortable and breathable. The blanket and stickers that I ordered are very high quality as well. There are lots of different selections to choose from for each acquired taste.
