Impressions of NYC, Prints by Rebecca Sherman

As many of you know, I used to live in NYC—which means that while I don't actively miss the city (really, I don't) I do miss aspects of it, so I'm often taken with visual references to the place I called home for nearly 6 years. Rebecca Sherman of Brooklyn is behind these prints, which are inspired by the light, energy and architecture of the city. I just love how evocative they are and her use of bold colors.

Rebecca I graduated from NYU with a BFA in Studio Art and she actively exhibits her artwork in the city. She recently started printing her designs onto tote bags to be able to share a version of her art that's more functional.

  1. I too, am really inspired by Rebecca's work. Her use of detail and color is unique. I've purchased one of her bags and I never fail to get compliments, it's functional, trendy, and beautiful!
