This collection represents recent work, inspired by a variety of sources and themes.

The Victorian/Arts & Craft/Deco Series is a mix or our own designs and those of Alfred Rasmussen, a stencil artist who worked in the Boston area from 1900 – 1940, plus a few other sources.

Our Contemporary/Geometric series explores the ability to produce three dimensional effects and is inspired by geometric shapes and repeating patterns.

Our batik series is based on the Rudolf G. Smend Batik Collection which is comprised primarily of textiles produced between 1880 and 1930 in Java, Indonesia. The choice of colors and the marriage of geometric and floral motifs provide the inspiration for this series.

Note that all named background colors are Benjamin Moore paints and all named border and motif colors are Jo Sonja stencil paints (click here to download a PDF of Jo Sonja’s Color Chart).
