Style Maker ... Kathe Fraga's Artful Flowers
A week ago, I was perusing through Pinterest and
came across some paintings that swept me off my feet.
They were the perfect reflection of our long-awaited
Spring. The artist is Kathe Fraga.
She creates beautiful whimsical art that is not only
on some of the finest walls but also in other
accessories like pillows and cards.
The paintings in Kathe Fraga's French Wallpaper Series evoke
the hand-painted, timeworn walls of a grand old Parisian mansion.
Each piece resembles an aged decorative fresco panel adorned
with birds and flowers, vines and leaves
in a modern Chinoiserie style.

In Kathe's words, her art is inspired by the
beauty and romance of old:
vintage silky kimonos,
hand-worked embroidery, lacquered little boxes,
blocked
wallpaper and panels from years ago, distressed with
age,
revealing a soft loveliness still…you’ll see
layered colors
peeking out behind one another—pinks,
blues, lavender—
speckles of gold, a wisp of glitter.
Kathe's new pillow collection is based on 17th and 18th century
chinoiserie and picks up her love of painted birds and flowers.
The pillows come in linen or silk.

Thank goodness for Pinterest.
It is a wonderful place to be exposed to
wonderful artists and their work.
