Design Bloc surface design show

 

Antonio will be showing my surface design collection at the Design Bloc show in NYC this Thursday and Friday. (May 16-17^th) at the Metropolitan Pavilion. If you’re a buyer or art director in the area looking for art this is a great chance to see art and its makers in person.  There are 35 different studios exhibiting so there’s something for everyone.  Hope you'll stop by!

 

Mothers love 💕

 I'm still thinking about moms with their babies.

This was before he was 2 ft taller than me!

 

💜

To finding strength you didn’t know you had and love you had never imagined.  Motherhood is the ultimate act of optimism in my mind. (and I'm generally not very optimistic) 😅

Happy Mother’s Day!

Little things that make me happy.

 

Birds, blossoms and pears, doesn't get much better than that in my book.

 

 

 

Oh, and red can't forget red.  I love that color!

Spring pairings

 

We have 7 peonies bushes in our yard that we've planted in our yard over the past 10 years.  I look forward to spring and a steady flow of fragrant, colorful flowers to enjoy indoors.  I'm so impressed with the yellow variety it's a Duchesse De Lorriane with a name almost as fancy as it's bloom!

This piece I drew with pen and painted with watercolor has nothing to do with peonies but at a glance they seem like good friends. (and go together quite nicely)

Story Time fabric collection coming soon

 

Counting the days until I can share my new fabric collection with P & B Textiles with YOU.  It’s called Story Time and turned out oh so charming!  It's perfect for newborn to toddler ages.  🪡

A welcoming...

 New love, new joy, and new little mouths to feed!

This is a card I made for Design House Greeting last spring inspired by my neighbors apple tree and the momma robin who made her nest there.  I studied her new chirping family every morning while I drank my coffee.  

She’d fly back and forth with a beak full of worms to feed her chicks.  I admired her diligence and dedication and thought yes, motherhood can be hard but at least as human moms we don’t have to feed our little ones that way.

Here's the work in progress and the final card. It's available at Trader Joe's.
