Keri Christensen
Hi, I’m Keri—the heart and hands behind Retrowaves. I grew up in an artistic household by the ocean in the Hamptons, where creativity was part of everyday life and nature served as a constant source of inspiration. I fell in love with embroidery and fiber arts for their meditative rhythm and the way they bring texture and meaning to simple materials—especially when crafted by hand in small batches. With a background in business and a passion for all things handmade, I started Retrowaves to blend art, sustainability, community, and style. Every piece—from custom embroidered apparel to upcycled home goods—is created with intention and a whole lot of heart. I’m all about turning the everyday into something more personal, more joyful, and always one-of-a-kind...something that never goes out of style.

Patricia Christensen
Patti is a talented painter and former graphic designer who spent 20 years in NYC honing her design skills. After moving to the Hamptons, she fully embraced her passion for painting, using the slower pace of life to nurture her creative spirit while raising her children. Surrounded by art every day—whether on the dining room table or in every room of the house—her work was always woven into the fabric of family life. Known for her hand-painted mailboxes that still adorn neighborhoods across the Hamptons, she has also showcased her work in local boutiques and small shops. Her artwork is deeply inspired by nature, especially flowers and the beach—two of her greatest loves.

What inspired you to make this project?
This project was inspired by my passion for art, community, and our planet. I love encouraging others to reconnect with their creativity in ways that are sustainable and meaningful. By upcycling unwanted items into functional art, I hope to show that even the simplest materials can be transformed with care and intention. That’s why I’ll be actively embroidering on-site and showing others how to do the same—because I believe art should be shared, hands-on, and accessible to all.
