Vision

“Remember your first pair of blue jeans? Chances are you’ve had many incarnations of these handy pants, but I would wager, most of them have been a shade of indigo. According to Levi legend, the first blue jean was manufactured in 1873. I have some in my closet, almost that old. The beauty of this indigo pigment is it coordinates with just about anything. Thus, in decorating it’s a good “go to” shade to bring depth & interest into a room. As an organic compound, indigo portrays a natural, bold beauty yet it is a comfortable & distinctive accent that endures.” Our talented artists and designers featured in our Bon Art/Good Arts Collection incorporate this striking shade into a wide range of themes.

We are loving this indigo trend, bringing bold and mysterious energy to a variety of styles. From abstract, architectural, floral, ornamental & tribal, this wildly popular color plays well with other colors. Art & accessories are excellent ways to incorporate this exciting fashion statement into dĂŠcor.

MARIETTA COHEN Some of Marietta Cohen’s earliest memories involve drawing and painting. Born and raised in communist Bulgaria, there were no opportunities for individual expression, but she clearly remembers the joy and eagerness with which she anticipated her drawing classes. By the age of twelve, she had decided to become an artist.

After graduation from the high school of fine arts, she studied textile design in Moscow and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Sofia. Following the fall of communism she moved with her family to Israel where she received a Bachelor of Arts in textile design. She worked for several years as a textile designer all over the world: Israel, France, Germany and then after moving to the United States, San Diego and San Francisco. Still, she always had a yearning to return to her first love, painting. About her approach to her work, she says, “When I first look at the white canvas I always feel the same thrill. What adventure lies ahead? Will there be obstacles or will everything come out smoothly? The designer in me helps find the balance between the decorative and the exquisite.”

SAVION RAINE Growing up in Paris, Savion was inspired by the art and architecture and knew art was something she wanted to pursue. When she was a teenager, her family relocated to New York where she took courses at the School of Visual Arts and earned a degree in Graphic Arts. She also took classes in photography and incorporates her photographs onto her art using the computer to create mixed media images while utilizing her painting skills. She continues to explore and be inspired by the art and architecture of New York. She makes yearly trips back to Paris for the latest trends and loves to combine the old with the new. She is represented by Bon Art and you can find her images in numerous retailers all over the country.

CLAY TAYLOR Clay Taylor, born in the Midwest, US. He acquired much of his inspiration for his paintings traveling the world. Spending the majority of his time in the south of France, Poland, India and Nepal, he studied artistic global media. His strong and brightly colored paintings reflect the interest in tapestry works of India and the Himalayas, but he also studies the retail market trends in his home state and offers a very diverse collection of art for the wall.

ANI ALONSO Ani Alonso is a self taught artist from Argentina. From a very young age Ani has always enjoyed creating colorful, detailed images. Growing up Ani often found herself drawing beaches, animals, mermaids and flowers; themes that can still be found in her work today.
