I found out about Bev Hisey earlier this summer when I was researching textile designers for the summer course I was teaching at KCAI. She is a textile designer based in Toronto, Canada. In my research I was looking for artists or designers who use simple shapes. It was all for an assignment on repeat pattern design using hand carved stamps. Anyway - I was in love with her work from the start and still find it inspiring, as I hope you will, too.

 I have been trying for years to grasp the "less is more" concept. I'm getting closer and looking at these designs helps.

She also has some really amazing " dirty dishes" rugs. They don't really fit with my theme, but are definitely worth a look.
