I first heard about artist Bella Foster back in 2009, when she collaborated with Kate Spade on a number of projects. Then a couple of years ago, I spotted her work in Wayne Pate’s shop, and was immediately drawn to her Central Park piece. (Luckily, I was able to snap up one of the limited-edition silkscreen prints, shown above, before they sold out.) There’s this dreamy, carefree quality to her paintings that I just love.
I only recently stumbled upon Felt & Wire’s 2010 interview with Foster, and really enjoyed learning more about her. Apparently, she garners much inspiration from books; many of her paintings that depict interiors are based on rooms she’s never been in, but mostly experienced through books and online image searches. I think I need to add one of these to my collection!
