The leaves for this window were cut from recycled materials - Anthropologie shopping bags, newsprint, book pages, and craft paper. They were coated in transparent washes of paint to create cohesion among the various patterns.

The heart and city text were painted on the glass and leaves were taped to the window from the inside.

Painterly Butterflies | Anthropologie Naperville

6/1/2020

*** Fall 2020 Update ***

The butterflies were reduced in quantity and served as a wall-based display as a bridge between summer and fall.
Picture

Picture

This project was started before the first COVID19 shutdowns of Spring 2020. I started the construction of the butterflies in March, finished them at-home during the shutdown, and they were installed by my phenomenal managers Liz Bernhardt and Colleen Burke before the store re-opened in June.

The butterfly wings were sent pre-cut, but were painted by hand in 3 color stories, then attached to create a 3D "flight" effect.

Take Note, Accessories, and New Art Wall | Anthropologie Naperville

3/1/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
The jewelry stands received a canvas-painted, colorblock update to coordinate with the new art wall.
Picture
The back-of-store wall was looking very sad and was in dire need of an update. It was covered in canvas and trimmed out to create an art wall similar to the existing art walls in the store.
Picture
Picture
A hand-made sunglass fixture was added to the accessories wall to add a modern element and highlight the product.
Picture
In late spring, the wall was used as a backdrop to the Clare V. capsule collection of products.
Picture
A geometric accent was added to the Take Note stationary wall to  serve as a compliment to the new wall.

Art of Anthropologie Spring Window | Anthropologie Naperville

The large-scale flowers were created with foam core and paper petals, then painted in an abstract way that allowed brush strokes and drips to shine through. The centers of the flowers were made with painted nylon string and crepe paper.
Picture
Picture
Picture
The backdrop  (and the floor) was painted using a variety of colors that were allowed to blend together and drip in an organic way. Wall-pasted flowers were adhered to the canvas and painted into the backdrop, then extended with white additave petals for a three-dimensional look. The large-scale flowers were suspended off the wall to create depth.

Snowy Night Holiday Window | Anthropologie Naperville

The 2-dimensional foliage pieces were projected onto foam core, cut, drawn in more detail with permanent markers, then flocked with snow.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
The elements of the window that would eventually be painted on the glass were also projected to scale, but on tracing paper instead of foam core.

They were taped to the outside of the window and their outline was traced on the inside of the window, then filled in with acrylic paint markers.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
The backdrop was painted with a layer of black, then overlayed with a layer of navy paint, followed by gestural hand-painted snowflakes in different sizes.

A 2-D gold frame was added to the left side of the window around the mannequins, and a gold-leafed element was adhered to the right side of the window for balance. The addition of 2D pieces in the background and painted elements in the foreground happened in progression.
Picture
Picture
The first installation of the window was grounded in white, snowy layers. It was later updated to include a few red berries and silver leaf on the 2D foliage for added dimension, and wrapped gifts in the snow for added color.
Picture
Picture
Toward the end of the holiday season, "sale" text was painted to highlight winter promotions.

Front-of-Store Illustrated Trees | Anthropologie Naperville

The wood illustrated trees serve as a perfect backdrop to winter mannequins, the deer family, and illustrated ice skates (which were made with basic foam core.)

The trees were cut out of plywood with a jig saw (scroll blades forever.) They got an initial coat of white paint, then a wash of green, followed by more detailed illustrated painting and snow flocking.
Picture
Picture
Trunks were made from strips of plywood and 2x2s, painted to match the tree. The branches were nail-gunned to the trunks to complete the tree.
(Forgive my very messy art room.)

Patina Shapes | Anthropologie Naperville

Anthropologie sent gold and copper shapes to each of their stores to treat with the patina effect.
Picture
Layers of acrylic paint, gold interference paint, and flour were added to the shapes. When dried, the flour created a matte, crackled texture to simulate natural patina.
