Hi, I’m JANA RICCI.

Fishtail Flourish was born from a lifelong connection to place, family, and creativity. Fishtail, Montana holds a special place in my heart and continues to shape the spirit behind my work. Though I was raised in Winter Park, Florida, my parents grew up among the wide-open landscapes of Montana, and summers spent hiking mountain trails and wading through quiet creeks became part of my story. That sense of stillness, reflection, and connection is the same feeling I seek to create through handwritten work, where words are chosen carefully and written with intention.

The small town of Fishtail, with its handful of residents, general store and close knit community, represents what I value most: simplicity, authenticity and meaningful relationships. It is both a home away from home and the muse behind the name Fishtail Flourish.
