The Full Studio

A Practice in Botanical Pattern

Selected works from the studio — wallpaper commissions, pattern studies, and source paintings from the garden. A body of work that grows slowly, and on purpose.

Magnolias on Indigo — the full wallpaper pattern

Featured Commission—Spring, 2026

Magnolias on Indigo — hand-painted wallpaper

Plate I · Wallpaper

Magnolias on Indigo

Medium
Gouache and ink on paper, printed to custom wallpaper
Ground
Deep indigo, hand-mixed
Commissioned
A private library, Chester County, Pennsylvania
Run
Three rolls, non-repeating

A hand-painted wallpaper of southern magnolias in full bloom, layered over a deep indigo ground. The composition is asymmetrical and non-repeating — each wall is a slightly different view of the same imagined garden, painted for a small library that its owners wanted to feel entirely unlike any other room in the house.

A Small Practice

The studio takes on
a small number of commissions
each year.

If you are considering a custom wallpaper, a textile collaboration, or a surface pattern for a project you care about deeply, I would love to hear from you. Each commission begins with a letter and a conversation.
