INSPIRATION: Vera Neumann

The artwork of Vera Neumann is amazing. I love the bright bold colors and the perfect imperfectness of it. She started her company at her kitchen table in 1947 and it grew into a multi million dollar licensing business-pretty impressive! Vera believed in art's ability to inspire and enrich people's lives. She also thought that fine art should be available to all and that people should be surrounded by beauty. I couldn't agree more-this completely goes to show that if you do what you love the rest will fall into place. She's known for her signature that often has a ladybug next to it. Her work can be seen on products from Anthropologie, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Bloomingdales, Lord & Taylor, Nordstrom, Macy’s, and Bed Bath & Beyond to name a few. There is also a fabulous book available here. Have a look at some of Vera's amazing talent........
