A professional graphic designer who uses her background in art history and restoration to create everyday objects you can enjoy in your home or as wearable art. It's a joy to bring the best art and design of ages past into everyday life, plus invitations and DIY party projects. If you don't already share my love for artists and illustrators such as Alphonse Mucha, Edmund Dulac, Beatrix Potter, Carl Larsson and John Tenniel, perhaps you'll discover a new enthusiasm.

Umberto Brunelleschi Costumes Parisiens 1914 Fashion Plate

Now here's a pair of fine-feathered friends!

Stylish and sophisticated but with a touch of fun. A Parisian lady in dress in the high fashion of the day with a whimsically-plumed lavender bird perched on her finger.

Wonderful Art Deco palette of black, fuchsia pink, lime green, lavender blue and lilac. This is an early Deco illustration and one still senses the Art Nouveau influence here in the graceful curving lines, the composition and the stylized cedar tree, yet the Deco high contrast and sense of fun are already shining brightly in this piece.

More fabulous Art Deco Paris fashion plates by Umberto Brunelleschi, George Barbier and more are available in my gallery's Art Deco Collection.
