Art
Hunt
When you're looking for that finishing touch for the nursery or
playroom, of course you want something your kids will respond to.
But it's your house too, so you need artwork with a more universal
appeal. Pictures of cute little animals are great, but do they have
to be licensed characters who wear pants and star in their own movies?
Not if they're artist Alena Hennessy's charming, simple images of
woodland creatures.
Working out of her Asheville, North Carolina studio, Hennessy creates
whimsical, childlike pieces featuring deer, birds, bunnies and other
sweet critters, as well as trees and flowers, all in soft muted
colors that enhance any decor. The reasonably-priced offerings include
resin-coated paintings on wood panels, three dimensional tiles,
giclee prints on watercolor paper, and hydrostone sculptures of
white birds in flight. The hand-drawn images are also available
on clothing including onesies. All
of the pieces are crafted in limited quantities and signed by the
artist.
It's never too early to encourage your little collector's taste.
With original artwork for the nursery walls, you're not just a decorator,
you're a curator.
