We've done several features on 'Art as Inspiration' for our pillow and rug designs and this new line of Bloomer pillows are no exception. This whimsical line of pillows were inspired by original artwork from Barbara Gilhooly Mighty Fine Art.

"I became a new gardener, or an accidental gardener, when I moved to Colorado three years ago. My interest in growing things had been dormant for the 21 years I lived in downtown St. Paul, MN. Now that I have outdoor space and abundant sunshine, I'm inspired to learn how to grow things.
I am drawn to the organic shapes of botanicals and often use abstracted versions in my work. I enjoy the liberty of possibilities with all the variety of shapes and colors in the plant world. Once I identify a theme for a show, I am able to launch a series of work."- Barbara
Gilhooly works as a visual artist and maintains an active exhibition schedule. Recently, her work was shown in Paris, New York, Colorado, and several exhibitions in Minneapolis/Saint Paul, MN. She works in a variety of materials and is known for her sculptural wire, paintings on wood panels and playful 'Misfit' found-object assemblages of aircraft, angels, and ‘Tin Folk’ portraits. Gilhooly's paintings are represented by Gallery 360 in Minneapolis and 44T Artspace in Denver. Gilhooly's work has appeared in numerous publications, including: Interior Design, Metropolitan Home, Midwest Home & Garden, Metro, Minnesota Monthly, Mpls.St.Paul Magazine, and Canadian Art.
