Collaborating with Artists
At Marked Out Leatherworks, we believe artistry is a conversation — one that deepens when creativity, culture, and community come together. While our studio is no longer taking on collaborative projects, we remain committed to uplifting the voices of the artists who inspire us.
Our Featured Artist series highlights local creators whose work carries authenticity, heart, and a story worth sharing. These artists bring their own perspective, heritage, and craft, and we’re honored to give them space within our platform.
This isn’t about co‑creating products — it’s about celebrating the people who shape the artistic landscape of the Southwest. Their work stands on its own, and we’re proud to showcase it with the same respect and intention we bring to our leatherwork.
Whether it’s a single spotlight or an ongoing feature, we honor each artist’s voice and the energy they bring to our creative community. Marked Out Leatherworks is built on story, craft, and connection — and our Featured Artists embody all three.
We partner with artists whose work speaks with authenticity and heart, blending their unique perspectives with our western aesthetic to craft pieces that feel personal and timeless. These collaborations aren’t just about product-they’re about story, energy, and the kind of craftmanship that leaves a mark.
Whether it’s a one-of-a-kind design or a full collection, we honor each artist’s voice and celebrate the magic that happens when creative minds meet.
If you know of any artists that would like to be featured please call our main office and we would love to talk to you!
