171 lovely notes:
Wow, am I really first?!
My favorite visual artist is Georgia O'Keefe. I love how she pays attention to the details.
I really like Erte and his impossible dresses. The illustration of fabric flow seems to suck me in! ~jen~
Ansel Adams, black and white photography, how he captured the landscape of the Sierra Nevada and surroundings is beautiful.
favorite visual artisit?
that is really difficult...
One of the top..Monet, I really enjoy impressionism
I love Heather Smith Jones, her art is pure poetry to me.
Oooh, how exciting!
My favorite visual artist . . . it's a toss up between the Victorian junk collection collage and assmeblage of Joseph Cornell, the "Alice" illustrations of John Tenniel, and the mod work of David Hockney.
Such a hard question!
You've got the link to my blog :)
Favorite artist and most influential on me is Rousseau.

i'm a big fan of the op-art by bridget riley. lovely giveaway! thank you!
Paul Gaugin is my classic pick. I've liked his work since the moment I first saw it.
Sophie Thouvenin. Photography. Brilliant.
OK, I'll stop there, because I have too many to list that I like and I go into gimble lock when I have to think about naming them.
ohh there are soo many its hard to pick one, I love Pollack, Motherwell, DeKooning, Paul Klee, Rauschenberg, oh and one of my super favorites is Jean-Michel Basquiat!!

favorite visual artist: edgar degas! i love love love his little dancer!
oh, please pick me! i love the mushroom fabric. just finished a handbag with it. take care erika
Oh gosh - I don't pay as close attention to art as I probably should. But, I will say that when I visited France, 2 of my favorite places were the Picasso musuem and the Chagal museum.
I hope I am one of the lucky 4!!!
Great! I'd love to win some more of your fabric. My little quilt shop here carries Henry Glass fabric, and I've already pointed out your upcoming line to her. I hope she can order some.
-- Michele
Yeah! Your new line is so gorgeous! I can be contacted at irenedesign[at]ymail.com when I win :o) Congrats on the exciting day!
Second comment - I forgot the visual artist part on the first one. I choose you today because I love your interpretation of nature. The trees have been my favorite so far, though I haven't used that fabric yet - soon, and I really love the muted tones you use in your work. The designs are very soothing and yet a bit fun in the whimsical way you portray the parts of the plants. Thanks!
Hello from Portugal!
My favorite visual artist is probably Rothko. Simple and colourful:)
Since i don´t have a blog i'll leave my email is case i'm a lucky winner:) inesalvescruz@gmail.com
Fingers crossed!!
Ines
I love all the designers at Marimekko. The things they do with bold graphic designs on textiles continues to blow my mind. There are the classics of Maija & Kristina Isola and lots of awesome younger designers like Anna Danielsson.
Congrats on the new collection...everything looks wonderful! No chance you're doing an reprints of the tea towel calendar, is there? I was out of town for a bit and not keeping up with the blogs while I was gone. So sorry to see they're already sold out!
(Btw, if I'm lucky enough to win you can reach me at poohba02(at)yahoo(dot)com.)
Hmmm, fave visual artist eh? There are just too many,and for so many different reasons,but if I have to narrow it down to one and right now,I think it will have to be Egon Schiele, tomorrow I might have a different choice it depends on my mood.
So many artists to choose from! One of my favorites is probably evan harris. Visit my website if you get the chance! www.laurawarecki.com
Thank you!
So I love children's artists and the one I'm fascinated with right now is Krystyna Stasiak ("Illustrated Poems for Children" is my favorite). Love your work!
mary.maul@gmail.com
Hiraki Sawa. Great shadow play.
Love the new line!
Hmmm. . .favorite artist. Today I have to say Charley Harper and D.B Johnson. It may be different romorrow and it will never be just one. . .
I LOVE your new fabric collection! I'm going to have to do something with the mushrooms fabric but I haven't yet decided what.
I'm at blockhead@wendigratz.com.
Oh! Great! I LOVE Alexander Calder and Maxfield Parrish! gaea(at)gaea(dot)cc
Let's see if I can get lucky again!
Mary Blair is my current favorite. I got to see one of her original paintings at the Ford Museum a few years ago. The originals just *glow*.
www.r0ssie.etsy.com
I don't think I have just one favorite artist - I lean towards original art by new and up coming artists. If you'd look at my walls, you would see that I have no favorite style either ;) I just love it all!
Ohhhh, how exciting would it be to finally try out some of your fabric? I have loved the mushroom one from the moment I first saw it and am also truly in love with dandelion...
Favourite artist? One I have admired for a long time is Egon Schiele, but there are so many favourites... I love slightly strange illustrations the most.
Bye from Germany,
Veronika
-- you could contact me by convo in case I would actually be one of the incredibly lucky winners: http://snowberrylime.etsy.com --
Oh, this is a hard one. I think my little sister, Sofia, is my favorite artist (www.icebear.etsy.com). She is always coming up with something new and interesting and has a confidence that I admire.
I hope I'm a very lucky winner!
ursulaiarnold(at)gmail(dot)com
Hi please enter me in your giveaway!
contact is bettywhoosh (at) g mail (dot) com
favorite of the moment: street artist david choe. i can get lost in the layers of his work!
would love to be counted in the giveaway!
stephervescent(at)gmail(dot)come
I love van Gogh, Sargent, and Waterhouse. Sargent and Waterhouse have a lot of romantic images that I just love to look at and all three have great technical skills.
siggykag [at] gmail [dot] com
My favorite visual artist is Emily Carr. Very famous here in Canada for her and vivid landscapes of the West Coast. She was also an exceptionally talented writer, and wrote many personal stories about her life and work as an artist on Vancouver Island. In many ways she could be described as the Canadian equivalent of Georgia O'keefe. She was an eccentric individual who never married and loved animals. She was especially well know for her pet monkey.
I have a few that I like, but especially Liechtenstein and Escher.
Crossing my fingers for the mushroom fabric!
My favorite visual artists is Nancy Crow
http://www.nancycrow.com/
I love textile art and Nancy's work and her dedication to making quilting, long before it was accepted, as an art form truly inspires me. If you ever get a chance to visit Athens, Ohio in the summer you have to make a trip to the "dairy barn." She began this quilt exhibit long ago and the exhibit rotates by year whether there will be art or traditional quilts shown. Both are amazing.
It would be very easy to see your textiles in some of the quilts displayed there.
Take care
waterrose@mac.com
At the moment my favourite visual artist (of whom I have a magazine reproduction next to my laptop) is Linden Frederick. The image I'm looking at is called Wong's and it's an oil on linen, although it is so realistic that I would have guessed that it is a photograph. I am drawn to it because it represents an intriguing facet of American culture -- lone buildings or structures in the middle of nowhere.
My email: laura [at] laurabucci [dot] com
favourite artist? It would have to be Klimt for me, I love his landscapes. And hey you, well done on being featured on design sponge, I hope you have seen it!
: )
So gorgeous! And I'm so excited that I've discovered your Etsy shop!
Favorite visual artist. That's tough. Today I'm lovin Marisa Hopkins of ElegantSnobbery.etsy.com.
Denise
denfelton[at]hotmail.com
Too many amazing visual artists to pick an all-time-favorite so I'll just say that right now I'm digging Otto Dix and in general post-world war 1 German artwork.
I'll say Thomas Mann and David Hockney but I could go on and on....
Hmmm...
I love your fabric line, it's just beautiful...!
Hmmm... favourite visual artist...
that's hard as there are so many talented artists...and I think the artist that touched me most was Rembrandt - when I had the opportunity to visit an exibithion with his work I was fascinated by one of the exhibits: Girl at the window {translated from German, didn't find the proper name}
http://www.kunstmarkt.com/kunstmarkt/cms/upload/news/thumb450/01f_dulwich_madchen.jpg
But I'm not restricted to one artist or one "movement" (?)
Cheers, Julia
What a lovely giveaway!
One of my favourite artists is John Everett Millais of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. I think the water, foliage and flowers in the painting "Ophelia" are some of the most beautiful I have ever seen.
Let's see:
Tim Biskup
Gama Go
Daniela Drescher
Charley Harper
Thanks for the giveaway!
I loved art as a little girl, and Monet was always my favorite. My parents' friends were always so impressed when I would point out his artwork. I still like it, I find it very calming.
I really enjoy children's book illustrations, especially Tasha Tudor. Thanks for the chance to win, you are very generous!
It's hard to name just one but lately I've been really digging the charming work of MIKE DUTTON http://blog.duttonart.net/
You were the first one to let me know what fat quarters were, back in the day...this just reminded me! I love your designs, but I won't take up the comment space...just wanted to tell you that (again). I'm the least crafty girl you know. Although I would love to see what someone makes with your lovely patterns!
For me, Vicent Van Gogh.
Love the fabric lines, well done!
Sue Cahill (sbonetsue at yahoo dot com)
I am going to have to go with a classic, Vincent Van Gogh. I love the colors in his work. Contact info
http://giddy4paisley.blogspot.com/
Okay, first things first, pick me. (It's okay if you have to cheat just this one time to make it happen, I won't tell any one, promise!)
And now, hmmm, favorite visual artist(s)... Georgia O'Keefe, Andrew Wyeth, M.C. Esher, Elizabeth Layton,
Anna Torma, and the gazillion talented illustrators of the 1930's through the 1950's.
I love your new fabric . Lillies Of The Valley are my most favorite. My niece Jennifer is my favorite visual artist. She does the most beautiful works I have ever seen. She also teaches art at the college level.
I love Ansel Adams, how his work lets us see the beauty and richness in the world around us.
I have some of the Lily of the Valley fabric from your Etsy shop and loved it. I put a picture of the yarn/knitting bag I made with it in the flickr group.
This is so generous of you! The fabric looks beautiful! One of my favourite visual artists would have to be Audrey Kawasaki. Her beautiful and sensual girls combined with patterns and nature are incredible.
No favourite, love lots of them.
Would like a Clarice Beckett painting for my wall though :-)
I love Monet!
I'm not sure why, but I love his work.

jenniferstuartdesign@gmail.com
I don't really have a favorite visual artist. Too many to chose just one. I'm excited about your give away! --Nedra@cactus-needle
Ansel Adams has always been one of my favorite visual artists. What that man could do with a mountain just boggles the mind.

I love Lisbeth Zwerger! She is an amazing children's book illustrator. I love your new fabric line too! I sneaky-peeked it on the Henry Glass website and spent the evening fantasizing about how I would use it! Yeah for your giveaway!

Linda
lewmew at hotmail dot com

constancaspc[at]gmail[dot]com

My all time favorite visual artist is Maxfield Parrish. I love the colors and the gorgeous play of light that his illustrations had. Great stuff!
your fabrics are gorgeous. just looking at them makes me feel soothed.
it's hard to pick a favorite artist, but mark rothko would be up there. i like the meditative qualities of his work, plus the expirementation with color fields.
OK just call me whimsical and mumsy - but my favourite artists are my two children ! They draw me beautifully !
I have always loved Edward Gorey. His characters are always so interesting!
I really like the work of Maxfield Parrish - the colors and details that he achieve amaze me, and I love the ethereal, dream like subject matter.
I've always loved the work of 3 artists: Magritte, Modigliani and Escher. They all inspire me in a different way. Your fabrics are beautiful btw! : )
I have always loved Salvador Dali. Such a crazy man!
hard to choose one favorite...lately I like J. Otto Seibold, Johnny Yanok, Amanda Visell, Charley Harper.
What beautiful fabric! That is a hard one to decide. I will say today my favorite is also my daughter's favorite and his name is Christian Reese Lassen. He does beautiful ocean scenes.
My all time favorite is Georgia O'Keefe.
Great give away!
As a Vermonter, Sabra Field's prints have long inspired me. It doesn't hurt that Ben & Jerry's and also Vermont Public Radio have used her art for advertising!
For example, this print echos my home region very well: http://www.sabrafield.com/s/f/024.html
What a generous giveaway (and fabulous publicity!!).
I'd have to say my children! They are both at such different levels, and I love their passion for their artworks :)
Hi!
wow! yay contests!
I have a few favorite artists. Janet Morton for her crazy obsession with knitting - she's even created sweaters and booties for giraffes and elephants! Tara Donovan because of her amazing use of inanimate objects and making them totally ridiculous pieces of work. Doug Gilford's crocheted wire pieces..and Cal Lane who incorporates lace into industrial work! You should take a look at all of these!!! They're pretty amazing!!! :)
my contact information:
rosalyn.faustino@gmail.com
My fav visual artist may still be Mucha. I love the bold outlines he uses and the ornate but organic shapes. He did such amazing fabric drapery, maybe I'm swayed by my love of textiles. ;)
I'm a Kandinsky fan......
What a nice giveaway. Thx.
Oh my gosh, there are so many artists I love: Erte, Monet, Rembrandt, Parrish,there are even some amasing people working today in hollywood movie studios. It's too hard to pick just one for me. Love the fabric!
I'll go with Van Gogh -- I've always thought it would be cool to try and recreate one of his pieces in fabric. But have never even started trying. *sigh*
therealnanann at gmail
Charley Harper, Georgia O'Keefe and many others. On etsy I love Geninne Zlatkis. Your fabrics are beautiful. emersongraypress at mchsi dot com.

I love impressionism and Monet is on top of my list. I loose myself in his paintings.

My favorite visual artist is my daughter, Audrey. But on a more global scale my heart belongs to Vincent (Van Gogh, that is). Thanks for the giveaway!
Hey! Thanks for the giveaway!
So, choosing a favorite artist is like... choosing a favorite record!! Virtually impossible!! I'll say that the pieces I was most mooved by seeing live were Klimt's. Also love Nan Goldin and am totally into japanese artists (most of them around Murakami), like Yoshitomo Nara, Aya Takano and recently discovered Erina Matsui.
Finish by saying thatttt.... I'm really proud of my boyfriend's, Jorge Leal, work: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jorgeleal/

Hmmmm... I've never given this a thought, but I do like Rothco! Thanks for the chance!
bunnybx at gmail . com
The fabrics are gorgeous! I love Cezanne, he painted my native region of Provence.
Right now I'm going to say Denyse Schmidt as my artist instead of someone more conventional or classical.
I know everyone says this, but I love Van Gogh. I can get lost in the visceral, tangible explosion of colours on his canvases for hours.
I have to say Marimekko. My mother had many items when I was child and just seeing any of it around now takes me right back.
In fact I've started picking up some things of my own here and there too.
Definately gonna have to go with Dali here.
P.S. I <3 Giveaways, I'm in!
My 7-year-old and I are on a huge Virginia Lee Burton kick right now. He's discovering "style," and hers is lovely, very homey and innocent.
I love N.A. Noel, Ansel Adams. My friend Casey Fay. I am also inspired by fabric right now; I love Heather Bailey, Sandi Henderson, and Anna Maria Horner.
This is fun!
Thanks for the chance to win!!!
My fave visual artist is Wayne Thibaud -- he's so retro and uses such great pastel colors.
www.madebyrae.blogspot.com
My favorite artist is Felix Hofmann.
A lot of illustrations of the Grimm fairy tale are drawn.

Love the new fabric line! I don't have one particular favorite visual artist, rather a favorite style. I love Ukiyo-e (like Hiroshige and Hokusai) for how this style illustrates the simple beauty in everyday life. I like many of the French pre-impressionists too, for the same reason.

Ansel Adams is by far one of my favorite photographers. I love the outdoors and his work inspires me to see new places and learn new things. oh, to have a room with his b&ws... hmmm someday :)
and if I can choose a children's book author/illustrator as well.. Jan Brett is by far my favorite. I could sit for HOURS to inspect her work and see all of the surprises you find within.
crossing my fingers that I might win!! :)
It's really hard to pick a favorite. I am going to go with Salvador Dali though.
Thanks! : )

My favorite artist is Ansel Adams. I love the detail you see in the B&W that you miss otherwise. Thankyou for offering this contest. Take care and God bless, Cory
Sorry, I noticed today that the e-mail I posted was incorrect! I deleted the other comment, hope you don't mind...
Anyway, the original comment:
"Well, it's hard to pick just ONE favourite... but I think Marguerite Keyes (http://mossstories.com/marguerite/) has some really nice stuff."
