Anthropologie Inspired...


Before the holidays, I posted a photo of 3 paintings on my work desk.  Since they were a present and I didn't want to ruin any surprises I only showed a glimpse of the very beginning stages.

Now that the paintings have been gifted and are safely hanging in their new home, I thought it would be fun to show you what became of them...


This is a photo of my niece's bedding (from anthropologie) which was the inspiration for the paintings.


I created a patchwork of paint across the 3 canvases using colors and patterns inspired by the bedding.


I have a large collection of handmade stamps and stencils that I have cut over the years... perfect for creating "fabric".


It is always fun for me to see my paintings hanging in the space they call home!


"Bohemian Butterflies" is now available as a print in my etsy shop.

    These are incredible! I devour anthropologie catalogues for all their gorgeous displays and art/marketing.

    You inspired me to take a stab at some of the paintings I've been putting off until a better time...whatever,whenever THAT is. Lol

    okay - I don't want to sound like a twink BUT when you say the stamps are perfect for creating fabric - you didn't literally mean fabric - right. You used them to replicate her bedding? in the painting? I love the butterflies. They pop on that wall!!!
    I hope I didn't embarrass myself with this question.
    cheers, dana

    Hi Dana,
    Thanks for asking (you didn't embarass yourself) - I should have been more clear in my description. You're right, I used the stamps and stencils in the painting to replicate the fabric. Sorry for the confusion - I'm glad you asked :)
