An interview with fabric designer and artist Bari J
I have a new interview up on my YouTube Channel with my friend, artist and creative maximalist Bari J! I’ve known Bari for years and have watched her business evolve and change. We chat about how it’s important to understand and appreciate our creative roots, even if they seem completely unrelated to where we are today.
Bari’s book, Bloom Wild, is full of eye candy and pattern inspiration! Also get lots of inspiration from Bari’s Instagram feed. Also be sure to check out Bari’s website.
