An iconic design photo: one degree of separation

There are some pictures that just pull me in, and I revisit them from time to time just to enjoy the pure artistry of the space. Such is the case with this charming and iconic photo from House Beautiful’s top kitchens file, in a space designed by Ruthie Sommers. The room combines many elements that I love: a wall mounted sink, stainless steel sink and appliances, lots of natural light, and my favorite element in the space, original art.

When I first admired this photo, I had no idea that the artist who created the charming little crab painting is in fact an Atlanta artists whose children attend school with mine. Her name is Nancy B. Westfall, and her whimsical art and fresh approach to her subject matter make her one of the most popular artists with the top designers in Atlanta and around the country.

I am thrilled to be able to offer a selection of Nancy’s iconic crab paintings in the Quatrefoil Design store, for a limited time. All of the paintings are original, painted with great skill and artistry, and are full of vibrancy and beautiful texture and movement in the paint and brushstrokes. The crab painting in the picture above truly makes the space designed by Ruthie Sommers, just as one or a series of these beautiful paintings would define your own space.
