History
Established in 2013.
WHY OXTAIL? The name «Oxtail Studio» invokes the wholesome soul food that the Lim siblings enjoyed as youngsters, specifically ox tail stew — a favorite. The pun (Oxtail Stew-dio!) and its significance are a small offering to Harry K. Lim, Kingston and Serena’s father, who passed in 2005, and in several ways laid the foundation on which Oxtail Studio is now built.
Meet the Business Owner
Kingston and Serena Lim, Jessie Z.
Business Owner
Kingston (ceramicist, painter, digital artist) and Serena Lim (illustrator, crafter, designer) were born and raised right here in Berkeley, California. Originally from Florida, Jessie Zechnowitz (floral designer, art historian) is a UC Berkeley graduate currently earning her masters at SF State. Having visited and lived in other places, all three Oxtail Studio cofounders appreciate the Bay Area’s diverse and urban culture, while finding peace and inspiration in Northern California’s beautiful wildernesses.
