A little logo mashup for my clients Aquafisk and Iceland Catch . The two brands are for different divisions but need to relate to each other in a clear way from time to time. I was tasked to combine them in a way that looked balanced and clean and maintained the individuality of each while establishing a relationship.

🚴‍♂️📘Bikes and books! Is anything better? This summer I had the pleasure of working with the Concord Public Library on a pair of eBike Bookmobiles to assist with their outreach efforts. Embracing many important considerations such as the library's logo and the fact that Concord is one of four refugee resettlement cities in New Hampshire and thus has several languages spoken in their community, I arrived at a pair of colorful, multilingual designs that also pay homage to Concord's own, Abbot-Downing Coach Company.

The first month is September 2022 so it makes a perfect 'back to school' gift (or 'back to reality' gift for those of you with summers off!)

ETSY SALE Extended! I've decided to extend my March 2022 22% OFF promotion for the month of April. As we slowly tip toe towards warmer weather I am reminded of the sunny days spent outside making this shibori series. I so loved the reveal of each piece coming out of the dye 💦 bath and how beautiful they looked hanging up on the clothesline by the trees, drying in the summery air and crisp bright August light. Patterns are based on traditional techniques but I put my own twist on them, as reflected in the names of each item. Browse the sale here: https://etsy.me/3ITsIMw and use code APRIL22 for the dicsount. Thank you!

Was an honor and so fun to see my branding for the 2022 up in lights on the iconic marquee at this weekend.

Before meeting Lynne Francis-Lunn, I was an enthusiastic fan of her style. As the "leader and creative force"* behind the extraordinary store at the Peabody Essex Museum for more than 3 decades, I was repeatedly drawn into the magical space she created whenever I was looking for something special or a perfect, artful gift. And for patrons of the museum, her merchandising wizardry made the museum’s shop a revolving and rich exhibit in its own right.

Over her illustrious career she met hundreds of professionals in all facets of the creative world so it was an honor when she approached me to create a website for her new venture in concept-driven woven sculpture, a passion she is now able to focus on full time thanks to her recent retirement from PEM.

Lynne’s deeply moving, award-winning artwork is in private collections, numerous publications and appears regularly in museums and galleries. See select highlights and learn more about their meaning at lynnefrancislunn.com.

Thank you Lynne for the fascinating opportunity to delve into your beautifully creative world. Congratulations on your new site!

Thank you to friends and family who attended my artist's reception at the last week. I have had a blast showing my Windows series in this gorgeous space during the month of March. The exhibit is in its final days, coming down March 31st, so there is still time to see if you'd like to this week. For contactless purchases I set everything up on Etsy, so all of the works are also browseable on my online shop there: https://www.etsy.com/shop/EVArtandDesign
