Vaughan Spanjer

Vaughan Spanjer, fashion designer-turned-artist, is a Sylacauga, Alabama native best known for her iconic sheep note cards and fine art featured in boutiques throughout the Southeast. Vaughan graduated from Auburn University, with a degree in Apparel Merchandising, Design and Production Management, quickly married and moved to New York City to pursue a career in fashion. She eventually left the industry and headed back to Alabama to plant roots with her husband. During a tough pregnancy, she sought therapy through her art, which led to the beginning of her art and design business. Vaughan has designed various logos, custom stationery and wedding invitation suites with her calligraphy and illustrations and has worked on countless commissioned fine art pieces. When she’s not working on her craft or chasing after two toddlers, you’ll find Vaughan playing golf with her husband, Tim, at her family’s golf course, FarmLinks at Pursell Farms, reading beautiful editorials, cooking, watching British dramas on Netflix, or antiquing with her mother.
