Before Spruce, I obtained my degree in Art History, which is a testament to my love of the visual arts. Although I don’t get to work with paintings very often anymore, I have found a new way to incorporate artwork into my life. This month’s issue of Elle Decor features artist Katherine Bowling whose art work is ethereal and captures nature as I would imagine it early in the morning. I’ve never used art work to guide the design of a room, mainly because I can’t afford to purchase the art my heart desires. But who says you have to have the piece in your possession to draw inspiration from it?

If I could wake up to these scenes every morning, I wouldn’t hit snooze so many times.

Another artist from Portland, Oregon I adore is Amanda Blake. Her imagination really inspires me to create a quirky room centered around her paintings.
