Why I Still Paint Every Pattern by Hand

There’s a particular kind of peace in the sound of a brush moving across paper. It’s slow. Steady. Rooted.

That rhythm is at the heart of every pattern in the Signature Line. While the world races ahead—designing with digital tools, shortcuts, and prompts—I’m still reaching for water jars and Windsor & Newton brushes. Because I believe something hand-painted carries more than beauty. It carries soul.

Take the hydrangea I painted above. You might see a bloom. I see memory.

It reminds me of the hydrangeas that grew outside the house I loved most, and the gardens I walked through with my mom, naming flowers and noting color. It echoes the faded florals I grew up with—on wallpapers, dish towels, and the hem of an apron long worn soft.

Each petal, each wash of green or soft indigo, is layered in time and intention. You can’t rush it. And that’s the point.

Why I still paint by hand:

Because digital can’t replicate rhythm.Because AI can’t feel.Because when you touch a room filled with hand-painted design, you know the difference.

The Signature Line wasn’t created to be trendy. It was created to become a backdrop for something more permanent—your family’s life, your quiet moments, your most celebrated days.

When you hang something hand-painted, you’re choosing more than a look.You’re choosing process. Presence. Care.
