The playful floral pattern and geometric chevron design were inspired by neighborhood walks along paths lined by majestic maple trees. The leaves were hand drawn, the flowers hand painted, and the seed pods scanned before being colored digitally. The first colorway evokes the the soft greens and blush pinks of spring and the second colorway is inspired by the deep reds and dark brown of Autumn.  My style is rooted in a vintage cottage core vibe.
