Corno Studio Paintings:

On a cloudy Wednesday what better way to brighten your day than to look at some beautiful art. I was watching a documentary about abstract paintings last night and it reminded me of this women’s art I came across last summer and absolutely fell in love with.

If you've never heard of her, her name is Corno and she paints fantastically large and bright abstract portraiture with intense black contrast. Her painting method is thick with a lot of visible strokes... oh how I wish I could paint like her.

Here is some of her old and new work:

Brad Ford:

Lately I have developed a design crush on the New York based designer, Brad Ford from Brad Ford ID. You may not recognize the name but I’m sure you design gurus out there have seen his work in plenty of design magazines. His design style is the perfect balance between clean lines, rustic textures, elegance, and functionality. Old vs. New is a common theme in his designs as well, I love the touch of 60’s flare mixed with chic modern elements.

Skateboard Sculptures:

I've recently come across this Bowen Island artist, his work is very unique.

Welcome!

Hello! And welcome to ‘Decor n’ More’, for those of you who know me, can agree with the fact that creating a blog is the perfect way for me to organize and talk about all things imaginative in the world.

I have such an appreciation for everything that has to do with design, art and craft; I felt it would be a waste not to share it with fellow creative souls out there. That said, for those of you who do not know me, I am a recent Interior Decorating Graduate from Sheridan College; I enjoy painting and have a passion for DIY.

I've just moved to Vancouver, British Columbia and felt that creating this blog would be a great way to start off my new adventure here in the west coast. Throughout my blogging I will strive to share all things I find inspiring and in turn, hope to learn as much as possible along the way!

                  Loving the mountainous view!
