  The large-scale oak leaves were cut from ply, accentuated with a canvas layer, and painted with dye. The edges were drilled and faux-stitched with gold cord.
A heart was faux-stitched into the largest leaf. The shirt-stories wall was updated with orange accents to match the leaves.

   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.
*** Fall 2020 Update *** The butterflies were reduced in quantity and served as a wall-based display as a bridge between summer and fall. 
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.
The Pollen concept combined hand-made 3D flowers with chalk-drawn flowers.   The opposing wall had multiple iterations over the season, at first featuring the deer family and later enhanced with even more flowers.
The pollen flowers were hand-dyed and painted before assembly, and they were combined with some of the Flying Poppies paper flowers from last season.   The jewelry stands received a canvas-painted, colorblock update to coordinate with the new art wall.  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.
A hand-made sunglass fixture was added to the accessories wall to add a modern element and highlight the product.  In late spring, the wall was used as a backdrop to the Clare V. capsule collection of products.  A geometric accent was added to the Take Note stationary wall to serve as a compliment to the new wall.    The box risers were built from birch ply then painted with dye before installation.  The Cash Wrap Pendant Light display was updated with red painted accents, and a painterly heart was installed to dot the "i" in Anthropologie.  
A wallpaper mural was pasted onto wood slats, and the slats were cut to irregular lengths while keeping the integrity of the mural pattern. 
     The front wall was covered in canvas and painted in layers, allowing the brush strokes to show through.  |
