Nod To Mod by Jan Avellana

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
