Shoreline Garden Shadow: A Quiet Echo of the Original

Some patterns sing. Others hum in the background, offering quiet rhythm and calm contrast.

Shoreline Garden Shadow is the silhouette version of my Signature Line’s hero print, Shoreline Garden. It was created as a gentle echo—something with the same movement and grace, but softer. Simpler. Like the garden at dusk, when the blooms fade into shadow and the world quiets.

This pattern is being developed as a woven fabric, with the possibility of linen and wallpaper to follow. It’s designed to work in harmony with its painterly counterpart—bringing balance and breath to a space filled with visual story.

When I first painted Shoreline Garden, I was working from memory. Childhood gardens, chickadees at the window, and the peace of growing up on a small island off the Connecticut coast. But those memories have layers. Not everything is always in full bloom.

Shoreline Garden Shadow holds the subtler parts of the story—the stillness, the silhouettes, the softness at the edges.

Design Tip:

Use this pattern where you want presence without overwhelm. It’s perfect for fabric on roman shades, headboards, or dining room chairs. As wallpaper, it would be stunning in a small powder room, hallway, or even on a ceiling—anywhere you want a touch of movement without full color.

Antique Tip:

This print pairs beautifully with painted finishes, washed linen, or mid-tone woods. Because it’s graphic in structure but soft in tone, it supports vintage pieces that have detail—cane chairs, spindle beds, or an OG mirror with floral carving.

Paint Pairing Suggestions:

For the deep blue colorway:

• Farrow & Ball “Stiffkey Blue” – rich and moody for cabinetry or millwork

• Benjamin Moore “Wind’s Breath” – soft and warm without going yellow

• Sherwin-Williams “Greek Villa” – crisp, clean trim to lift the depth of the background

Shoreline Garden Shadow is about restraint. About simplicity. About remembering that even in design—what you leave out matters just as much as what you add in.
