Meet the women behind the Pony

2019
They Meet
Danielle LaGoy & Gracie Ryan are two artists whose creative passions collided in the mountains of Missoula, Montana. The two met through mutual friends and immediately bonded over Broad City references and working on in-house design teams. A friendship was forged on icy ski lifts and summer floats down the river.
2020 - 2021
They Scheme
Over the following two years, they explored and honed their own creative interests. Danielle specializes in large-scale, oil-based painting and illustration and Gracie’s focus is in documentary-style photography and videography. As their skills developed, so did their bond.
2022 - Present
They Pony Up
Each had their own brand - Paint Nectar (Danielle) and Yeticorn (Gracie). But when they started to collaborate on projects, they realized they needed a different name to work under. Thus PN+Y was born. The name (pronounced like pony) is a nod to their individual brands, skill sets and attachment to Montana. Because although neither is an OG horse girl, they both share the drive to ride dat horse... professionally.
Danielle and Gracie now live in Portland, where they officially launched PN+Y Creative Studio LLC in the summer of 2022.
Our (un)professional lives
In case you're still reading, we're loving the dedication
Danielle spends most of her time making things. Whether it's working on a new painting or throwing together a recipe from New York Times cooking. Queen of a clean house in order to get anything done and defending all things astrology (yep she's that girl). She stays cuddling with her dog, Louie and re-watching Schitt's Creek.
Gracie is a serial traveler with roots in Chicago, Montana, and Spain. She's a fan of spontaneous life decisions (thank you sun and moon in Sag) and long walks with her dog, Evie. Catch her behind a camera, behind a book and ghosting the boys in her DMs.
Let's be friends
