Ariel Rutland

From the time I could put crayon to paper, I was making greeting cards and drawing fields of flowers for hours on end. These days I still try to carve out time for aimless floral doodles, but most often you can find me in the midst of wonderful and varied projects, from logo and branding design to surface patterns and wedding invitations. I love impressionist, organic formations, and clean, orderly arrangements. My illustration work is inspired by a youthful spirit—finding my inspiration from natural, simple, bright organic shapes. And the designer side loves to put those shapes and marks in a pleasing order.
