Through my design*sponge feature yesterday, I made the greatest connection! This painting above my mantle was given to me as a house-warming gift in 2002 and I had never known the artist! I was so happy to have the designer herself contact me. Sarah Maxwell English is based in Dallas and is a super talented painter and textile designer. Check out her work here. And her blog here. Thanks Sarah!
