Dog Days of Summer

I just finished some new custom prints and notecards and thought I would share them with you... Creating these pieces totally inspired me to create some more items for my Etsy shop... a new series on Classic modern chairs (another obsession of mine)... I find my graphic pieces are all about shape, design and color whereas my paintings and hand drawings are more about texture and materials... For me , the medium leads me to discover the composition and subject matter and there are pieces that I feel I approach more as an artist than designer and vice versa. The designer in me always wants to create a "line" of items...

so here are the fruits of my labor :) ...

Notecards based on the custom prints below

Based on a photo of a friends dog at the beach, what an amazing silhouette!

I almost feel as though he should be wearing a bow tie
I love the formality of a cameo type portrait!

ALL ABOUT ME

Maria is an Interior Designer whose curiosity often gets the better of her and having too many interests to count she relishes sharing them with you… when she is not talking about herself in the third person she is designing restaurants, homes and creating art just outside Chicago.

She is a glass is half full person and definitely thinks she sees things differently than your average bear. She is creatively inspired by her work, her family, her travels and her pug otis as they keep her on her toes. She is prone to collecting obsessions and has many collections to prove it. Connecting the dots and word smithing every chance she gets, she loves when one thing leads to another organically.

Her imagination seems to have a life of their own and creating unique experiences through design and imagination is always a joy. To her art and design have transformative powers and this is why she sometimes feels a little bit like Alice tumbling down the rabbit hole.
