Summer is for Hand Painted Wicker.
When I saw this little wicker bag while perusing Parfois, I knew it would be a fun piece to paint for my monthly 'artist folly' series.
Shortly thereafter, we visited beautiful El Escourial, the vacation home of the Spanish king, just outside of Madrid. The blush pink China Roses were in bloom and made a stunning backdrop against the bag.
I hope to work with more brands and develop artist collaborations with them. In the meantime, this is a great way to envision my work on wearable things like bags.
I have been hinting at the collaboration that has come together during the spring with The Spanish Shoe Brand, Souris.
Early this spring, I was connected with the sisters who design these beautiful Spanish-made shoes, and we decided it would be fun to paint some of the ballet flats they were planning to offer this spring.
The designs are here, and can be customized with a monogram and floral motif.
Souris will ship internationally, so these are available to US collectors. They will easily carry you into the fall months. Thank you to the Souris team for being such a fun crew to work with on this creative collaboration.
As a full time working artist, collaborating with brands creatively has become a big part of my business, and Prodoh is absolutely wonderful to work with.
It is with very great excitement that I get to share a collaboration with local Greenville, South Carolina children's clothing brand, Prodoh. Prodoh's mission is to 'Get Kids Outdoors' - something that as a mother, I can 100% get behind. All of the clothing they make is highly technical, functional, and wearable. My kids have been sporting the samples from this line for about 9 months now, and we are wild about each piece from this line! This collaboration has been over a year in the making and it is thrilling to see these pieces finally go to market! I hope you like them and if you have a little person in your life, you pick up one of these...
