Oh, Henri! by Shelly Penko
United States
Matisse loved art so much that he didn\'t even stop when he was too sick to sit at his easel. He would draw on the ceiling with a stick that had charcoal on the end. When he could no longer handle a paintbrush, he started making fabulous paper cuts. I can relate to that obsession to create. It\'s almost like a drug...I think it must make my brain release endorphins! So this is my humble homage to the master.
About Shelly Penko
I have always taken great joy in my surroundings; gardens or the ocean outdoors, beautiful interiors...they have the ability to transform my mood. A new notebook with a pretty cover can make me smile everytime I see it. A pretty bed cover can change my whole outlook. Whether it is pretty linens, a lovely carpet, colorful dishes...anything and everything that surrounds me, I love it to be beautiful. Beauty just makes my heart smile. The thought of someone else getting daily pleasure from something beautiful designed by me is why art and surface design are such passions for me!
