The Letter Nest is a brand of educational alphabet art, which celebrates the artistic connection of letter and image through the medium of watercolor. Founder Sally King McBride's elevated approach to the alphabet derives from her dual expertise in Fine Art and Art History: she worked at The Met for over ten years. The Letter Nest offers 16 themed alphabets—from Woodland to Dessert to Paris—customizable as Alphabet Prints, Name Prints, and Stationery. As seen in Goop, Vogue, AD, House Beautiful, and others.
Founder Story Following ten years working at The Met, Sally King McBride launched The Letter Nest in 2019. Her artistic training includes an M.A. and B.A. in Art History, including courses at RISD, the Sorbonne, and the School of the MFA, Boston. Each of her Alphabets tells a story, infused by her deep knowledge of fine art and art history, and delighting children and their grown-ups in the process. Sally is a 2021 Tory Burch Foundation Fellow, and a frequent collaborator with other women-owned businesses. She lives in New York City with her husband, two young sons, and a closet full of artwork.
