about the artist

welcome to my shop.  I'm Nick Raab, a tie dye artist based in the beautiful Coachella Valley.  

I was first introduced to tie dye growing up when my dad was given a shirt by my uncle who purchased it at a Grateful Dead show.  he often wore it for our family gatherings on the 4th of July and I always admired it.  When I lost my father to cancer in 2004, it was one of his items I wanted more than anything else as it held so many great memories.  

fast forward to the pandemic in 2020, and being house bound like most everyone else; I found myself with more time to explore the art.   I've always been drawn to color and expressing my creativity in different ways and tie dye has quickly become my ultimate medium.  

each piece is one-of-a-kind, handmade with love and attention to detail.  these are truly wearable art pieces. living in the desert greatly influences my creations, as I am constantly inspired by the vibrant colors and raw beauty of the area.  music, art and fashion also inspire me and I feel fortunate to have a thriving creative community right here in our valley.  

my goal is to contribute positivity and happiness through my art, and I'm excited to share my passion for tie dye with you all.  I truly appreciate your love and support!  I thank you for being here and invite you to join me on my journey.  

be kind.  be safe.  wear tie dye.
