Chameleons amongst Leucadendron Summer Sun, Orchids, rattlesnake Calatheas and Daffodils. Pattern design created by New Zealand based artist Catherine Marion.

This Figs & Strawberries pattern is mesmerizing and hypnotic. It features fluid, interlacing lines and motifs drawn from nature, and re-imagined in rich colour. This design is a symphony of fruits and flowers; petals unfurl, fruits ripen and leaves intertwine. Catherine drew inspiration whilst reminiscing about a trip to Spain where she spent hours strolling through the colourful Spanish fruit markets.

This artwork is a hymn to love representing two Japanese cranes dancing together in spring. The flowers and leaves have been selected to evoke a Japanese garden, from the pink cherry blossom to the Japanese maple tree leaves. The Japanese Crane is a symbol of love and fidelity, which is not surprising since these elegant birds bond for life once they have found a mate. This artwork conveys both at the same time a sense of power & softness, which is in essence very similar to love.

This pattern features elegant swirls of vines, flowers, and leaves in perfect symmetry. At the center of this design are British birds and roses. It is reminiscent of the Art & Crafts movement with a dash of folklore aesthetic. Catherine’s intention was to design a dense foliage which would appear to move in front of your eyes in a flowing motion.

This hummingbird pattern is inspired by a childhood memory. Inspired by summers in Quebec, the artist remembers when she would be excited to observe the tiny hummingbirds gathering nectar from the trumpet-shaped flowers in the garden. There is definitely something quite magical in the sight of a hummingbird as they often seem to appear out of nowhere and will vanish in the blink of an eye.
