after living tucked away in a little vine covered cottage on the central coast of california for a few years, my husband and i just recently returned to our roots in the beautiful mountains of north carolina. on most any day, you can find us playing with toaster, visiting the veggie stand or walking along the farmlands at sunset.

creating patterns and illustrations with summery sweet hues is my happy place. i am a self-taught designer and am constantly inspired by the natural world around us, from the biggest of trees to the tiniest of leaves! i thrive on botanical gardens, sunshiny days, and nature walks- camera in one hand, sketchbook in the other.

i believe patterns are one of the ways that we can express ourselves, and make our spaces beautiful. the patterns of our lives have the capacity to connect deeply within us and i love to weave parts of my life into each one of them. with each one that you see you will have seen a little piece of my life and heart.

along with illustrating, i also love to cook, sew, read, photograph, make things and drink coffee. you can find me talking about all of these things (and more!) over on my blog- going home to roost. >> http://www.goinghometoroost.com/ <<

i look forward to meeting you!
love, bonnie
