Congratulations Blair!  I will be in touch with you to get your shipping information and get your print to you 🙂

I’m often asked what’s the inspiration behind the colors of my artwork. I’ve always said color is my favorite color, but what started this series of paintings are the sunny, warm and bright color palettes. The shapes that the artwork creates are from my love of textile patterns. The idea of saturated colors contrasted with deeper colors is such a beautiful combination to me. So, I pulled together some of my favorite photos for a dose of inspiration.

These colors make me feel like this…….

I’m seeing these color more and more on fabulous products. These colors make me want to buy……

Pairing saturated oranges, yellow, and pinks with deeper blacks and golds create a whimsical feeling with out being too feminine. These colors make me want to decorate like this…….
