THE FIRST FABRIC COLLECTION FROM
collection lookbook 2015
Nod to Mod is Jan Avellana’s first collection with Windham Fabrics. The designs in this collection feature a modern vibe, and cheerful, bright colors. Some of the simplified and organic forms are a nod of homage to artists—such as Henri Matisse and Alexander Girard—whose mastery with graphic shapes and strong, flat color served as inspiration for this collection.

I am an illustrator, surface pattern designer and writer with a passion for art, books, deep conversations, and seaside adventures with my husband and two sons. With both a Bachelors of Fine Art in Graphic Design and a Master’s of Education in Teaching, I’ve spent time pursuing professional careers both in and out of the studio. After the birth of my children, my newfound-mama-love released me to follow my heart, reclaiming the artist that I have always been. Today, I revel in arty messes, making heartfelt connections with others through art and words. You can keep up with me on my blog at blog.janavellana.com or through my website at janavellana.com
