Tervis Drinkware

As the first featured artist in Tervis’s Artist Series, Yao’s collaboration with Tervis showcases her diverse portfolio of art since 2019. The collections capture her current creative work, including a yearly limited-edition holiday design!

As a believer in the functionality of art, Yao’s Tervis designs illustrate how art is truly a part of our everyday experience.

The boundless joy I feel when I paint is what I hope comes through when you use your Tervis tumbler throughout your day

Summer Fruits

Yao wanted to highlight delicious fruits that you can mix into a punch or flavored tea. Not only that, but each design enhances the translucent quality of the Tervis Classics. In this way, the fruits take on a different feel when they are filled with your favorite drinks!

Washes

What Yao loves most about painting watercolors are its dynamic washes. Always unique, every wash design is a meditation in being present with art as it’s unfolding before her. With Daydreaming and At Dusk, she was inspired to capture the ethereal feel of summer sunsets by the sea.

Holiday

These seasonal, commissioned watercolors are exclusive to Tervis stores and have been released each year since 2019! Each year, Yao comes up with a different design that not only captures the joy of the season but can also be used throughout the year.
