HAND-PAINTED HERITAGE DESIGNS
My bold floral patterns are inspired by traditional folk art and painting style called Khokhloma, which has a fascinating story and roots going back to the 17th century. Traditionally, the striking Khokhloma patterns were hans-painted by highly skilled craftsmen with piece being a unique artistic improvisation.
High quality design is one of my key values. Therefore, each of my intricate designs is painted by hand with great attention to detail. Because I work with a pattern repeat in mind, essential for wallpaper and fabric, I sketch my designs initially.
