This Just In-spiration: Meet Pauline Stevens

September 28, 2015

Our makers never fail to motivate us, encourage our creativity, and fill us with inspiration. So, when a new design enters our assortment, we’re always excited to learn more about the people behind the product.

What gets an artist going and keeps them creating is certainly worth sharing, and every great connection starts with a simple introduction. Meet Pauline Stevens, the artist behind our new Recipe Towels.

When did you know you wanted to be an artist?

Realizing that others besides my family and friends like my work, and were willing to pay for it!

What does your typical day in the studio look like? 

Opening windows and blinds, making coffee, a little music, playing around  with props and light, taking pictures, playing around some more, clicking my camera once again.  Choosing images. A little lightroom, some Photoshop, and testing.

Is there a trinket, talisman, or other inspirational object you keep near? If so, what is it and what does it mean to you?

Not really. I love music, light, and color and feel really in spirit when I am outdoors.
