Linda Ketelhut’s Incredible Journey in the Sonoran Desert

Our artist Linda Ketelhut took an amazing journey in the Sonoran Desert to see the Saguaro’s in bloom! She participated in a workshop “Ha:san Bak Harves”. She recently ambushed Lilla Rogers’ Instagram account @Lillarogers for a day and shared her unique journey with us. Linda writes, “It was a privilege and joy to share in the tradition alongside 3 generations of the Tohono O’odham and learn more about their culture and the Saguaro’s place in it. Hope you enjoy it!”.

We loved learning about this unique process and being part of the journey with Linda! See her portfolio here and all of the images from the Takeover Day here on Instagram @ Lillarogers.

Lilla co-teaches this class with esteemed colleague Creative Director Margo Tantau.

Here’s the art board Carolyn designed in our Creating Collections for Home Decor class. We pitched it to TAG, Ltd. and they snapped it up:

Ta da! We’re crazy about this collection that TAG Ltd. created from Carolyn Gavin’s work from her presentation. In fact, that cup on the upper left is on Lilla’s desk holding her pencils.

Get your mitts on new work by our artists! Check out these presentation boards.

Art directors: Get your mitts on this work for your amazing products! This is art that my artists did in my e-course Make Art That Sells: Creating Collections for Home Decor. I create 3 trend boards for each home decor course of what I think are the next trends. And the cool part is watching how these brilliant artists translate those trends into their own style, leading the way.

Katie Vernon’s Home Decor Collection with Anthropologie

Sometimes one of my artists will do work that they love, either in my courses or just for the pure joy of it. The cool part is seeing the variety of products the art ends up on when we pitch it to various companies. Teepees for Anthropolgie by Katie Vernon? Yeah.
