Medium:
Painting Kendall Simmons is a seasoned interior designer known for interesting and fresh use of color. She began painting about three years ago.
“As an interior designer, I care deeply about creating beautiful moments,” says Kendall. “I use color and pattern to express myself in my art and my designs, which is one of the best feelings in the world. My garden is one of my biggest inspirations, so get ready to see tons of flowers, fruit and veg represented in my watercolors!
“There's nothing better than spending a day in the garden absorbing all of the shapes and colors and movement of the plants. Then filtering those things through my imagination and onto the paper.”
Get to know Kendall better:
Our theme this year is Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. In the creation of your pieces, can you point to any examples where you follow these practices?
Yes! I've recently started creating floral collages. I cut beautiful bits and pieces of paintings that I'm not crazy about, and repurpose them into new pieces where they get to have a new life.
In terms of your art, where is the most inspirational place you've ever been?
That's impossible to answer because I've been fortunate enough to travel to 40 countries! But a short list would include the tulip fields in the Netherlands, the grand estate gardens in the UK, and gorgeous painted tile buildings in Portugal. It's all about seeing color and pattern used in the most interesting ways.
If you could be any artist in the world, who would you choose to be?
Monet. His life at Giverny was surrounded by his gardens which gave him endless inspiration. I can relate to that 100%.
