purdee birdees! (for Spring)


Antique Chair Patterns



I've been scouring thrift shops for furniture to fill my brand new studio at the Walnut St. Wazee Union! So of course I was totally inspired by all the great antique chairs I keep seeing. Be on the lookout for more information on my studio and events at the Wazee Union in Denver, CO!

Ode to Olle Eksell part 1





The first round of patterns inspired by my favorite Swedish graphic designer Olle Eksell. I'm in love with this palette and will continue to use it for some spring designs.

Ode to Escher




ooooh, my ode to M.C. Escher! I started with the girl, then created the fish... the fish led to squid. I love tessellations, more are on the way.

fun with hand painted pattern

hand painted patterns, glorious patterns










Glorious Patterns!!! Each of these patterns originated from 1 of 2 paintings created whilst visiting my family in Colorado. Great way to start 2011 and looking forward to the Print and Pattern show in New York on the 11th and 12th!!
