// CAITLIN MCGUALEY //
Caitlin McGauley is an artist and illustrator, who lives and works in New York. She is best known for her detailed watercolors of interiors and her sumi ink fashion illustrations that bear her own unmistakable style. Her paintings demonstrate a sureness of hand that that only develops from experience and a willingness to work with a lack of hesitation that makes her work distinctive for its technique as well as its saturated color and balance of interesting patterns. Her illustrations reflect a contemporary sensibility that mirrors the best sense of the style of her own generation, and it is no wonder that the likes of Kate Spade New York, Tory Burch, and Ralph Lauren Home, where she formerly designed textiles, number among her clients. Other clients have included Hermes Paris, Domino Magazine, Tiffany & Co., and Abrams Books.

Caitlin is still in the earlier stage of her career and her star is clearly rising. We are excited to offer some of her prints on a scale larger than ever previously available, and the large scale of these prints dramatically highlights the strong technique of her work and her exceptional ability to balance color and pattern.

Caitlin lives in Chelsea with her husband and two children.

// KAZUMI YOSHIDA //
Kazumi Yoshida is an artist whose work spans the divide between the fine art world and the design field and ranges from paintings and sculptures to remarkable textile designs he created over a period of many years for the famed fabric company, Clarence House, where he is the director of design, and has worked since the 1980’s. He is also the author of the generously illustrated 2011 book about Clarence House.

The range of his paintings and sculpture, both representational and abstract, is permeated by a vibrant joie de vivre. His maturity as an artist is apparent through the uniquely and instantly recognizable character of his paintings and sculpture, which is spontaneous, thought provoking, and above all uplifting.

The limited edition prints on this website are Kazumi Yoshida’s first venture into producing prints, and we anticipate a wonderful response. Kazumi has shown his work extensively in shows in the US, Europe, and Japan and has been featured in numerous publications including Elle Décor, Architectural Digest, Vogue, and House & Garden among others. He has complimented his work for Clarence House with a number of striking designs for Hermes.

 
 // MITA CORSINI BLAND //
Mita Corsini Bland is a very accomplished watercolorist, perhaps best known for her numerous and striking illustrations of interiors. Her interior subjects illustrating the work of many luminaries of today’s decorating world are the focal point of the 2009 book on the famed American decorator, Sister Parish. She has painted many commissions for private clients that include members of the Forbes family and the former mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg. From the 1980’s onward she painted numerous watercolors for the venerable fabric company, Brunschwig & Fils, depicting their textiles and wallpapers. She continued in that capacity for well over a decade.

She has expanded her focus in more recent years to include a series of distinctly unusual and subtle botanical watercolors inspired by the early twentieth century pioneer in botanical photography, Karl Blossfeldt. These paintings examine plants from a unique perspective that draw out striking parallels to both architecture and the human form. She continues to explore other themes including a series of figurative works, which resulted in an exhibit that sold out at the opening event.

Mita Corsini Bland also serves as a contributing editor to Veranda Magazine and a freelance designer for House Beautiful. She and her husband, a well-known gallery owner and antique dealer, live in New York. She enjoys traveling to her native Italy as frequently as possible.

// GERTRUDE HAMILTON //
Gertrude Hamilton was born and educated in Belgium, received graphic arts training in Paris, and later studied at the Art Students League in New York, where she discovered the art of botanical and natural history illustration.

She paints her subjects with distinctive personalities as well as scientific accuracy, so that her works are more like natural history portraits than simple studies. She has had four solo shows in New York City and group shows worldwide. Her work is in the Shirley Sherwood Collection and the Sloan Kettering and Lady Bamford collections. She is a member of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden Florilegium Society.
