Biography

Born at Los Angeles Queen of Angels hospital and raised in Huntington Park, California. Her mother, Sylvia Register, was a doll maker; her father, Flavil Register, was a mystery writer. She expressed this journey in her book and musical play, Flavia and the Dream Maker[2][1].

As a child, Flavia Weedn began expressing herself through dance in Los Angeles in 1939, fashion merchandising in 1948, painting in 1959, and writing in 1969. She started selling her art on her front lawn as a single mother, then later, together with her husband, Jack Weedn, at street fairs and art festivals throughout California. In 1963, they opened the first art gallery in Laguna Beach, California. Her next art galleries were opened at The Disneyland Hotel, Long Beach, California’s Ports-of-Call, Snowmass at Aspen[3], Colorado, and Huntington Beach, California.

Flavia and Jack Weedn began licensing her artwork in 1965 in the form of art prints, calendars, and greeting cards. They started Rainbow Paper Company in 1980 in Long Beach, California. This grew to evolve into The Flavia Company, Inc. of Santa Barbara, California in 1990 and was later sold to Archivea GmbH in Lugano, Switzerland in 2009[15].

The US Copyright Office notes more than 1200 creations attributed to Flavia Weedn and her Weedn Family Trust[16].

Flavia Weedn lived with her family in Orange County, California from 1967–1979 and Santa Barbara, California from 1979 to 2015.
