Five & Dime

Somewhere between a tear in your beer and a two-step under neon lights. Nostalgic, playful, and quietly poignant, Five & Dime blends Americana with contemporary expression. A faded blue cowboy hat—softened by time and memory—serves as the canvas for a handwritten message in vivid red: “i saw you crying at the five and dime.” The phrase feels at once deeply personal and universally familiar, evoking fleeting encounters, small-town stories, and moments of vulnerability that linger long after they've passed. About the Artist In a world inundated with constant allusions and delusions, the artist Tat Frederick pulls her inspiration from the understated wacky and weird details that are present in every day life. Tat creates her visions through sketches and collages and then executes each piece of artwork with other studio artists who bring her unique perspectives to life. Firmly rooted in the ideas of quiet mystery and being off the grid, the Scoutpack finds Tat to be a breath of fresh air in this noisy world of filters and fillers. Tat resides everywhere, yet nowhere.
