About Valentina Ramos:

“After 15 years working as a graphic designer, Valentina Ramos started to create other arts and crafts. From these creations, Valentina Design was born: her world of fantasies and dreams; where her uplifting drawings and designs took shape.”

“In her Miami studio, this Venezuelan artist spent countless happy hours playing with her paints and her Rapidograph Pens. She enjoys working with different materials, but black ink is one of the mediums you will always find in her original prints, paintings and drawings. Her love for artworks with little intricate details are a signature of her own drawing style.”

About Happee Monkee:

“As a young child, I was a little trigger monster. I played with my dad’s old film camera and loved how it magically immortalizes time. After years of snappy happy shots, I’ve learned to compose my photographs and play with light to produce desirable results. Many of Happee Monkee’s photos are from my travels around extraordinary places in the world. I am so fortunate to have been to Japan, Paris, Sweden, Moscow, London, Venice and many other amazing countries. I’ve previously worked in a publishing house, as a stylist and travel writer.”

The DENY Designs featured artist of the week this week is Madart, Inc.

Madart Inc Winter Sparkle Throw Pillow

Madart, Inc. has been with the DENY Designs family from the very beginning.  We were immediately drawn to her incredible use of color and the unique way her designs have the ability to lighten up any space. Her incredible portfolio is expanding – almost on a weekly basis, providing DENY Designs with a never-ending array of amazing artworks!

About Madart, Inc.:

I am a self taught contemporary artist, living out my dream of being able to create beautiful art as a profession As long as I can remember I have been drawn to art and have always had a pencil or brush in hand.

I draw my inspiration from nature and everyday subjects around me. Living in one of the most remote places on the planet, the Bush of Alaska, as well as tropical paradise, Hawaii and Florida, has allowed me to use many different aspects in my art to inspire me. It can be trees, boats, birds, vibrant sunsets, water, palm trees, cities, martinis; anything I see around me can be used to it’s fullest extent to draw the viewer into each piece and provide them with an enriching and pleasurable experience. I strive for my art to have an element of surprise, and at the same time, effect each person on a personal level with elements that they can relate to from their own life-experiences.

The closest style I feel my art fits into is a mix of Contemporary Eclecticism and Pop. And yet, it is different and unique in it’s own way, which is refreshing, and full of light and laughter. My goal as an artist is to bring happiness and joy into people’s lives through art. If every time someone looks at my art and it makes them smile, I know I have achieved part of my dream and purpose in life.

The DENY Designs featured artist of the week is Shannon Clark. Shannon recently joined the DENY Designs family, but her work is already a big hit. Her photography and designs add such a bright, fresh look to DENY products – we are loving it!

About Shannon Clark:

SSC Photography by Shannon Clark was born in early 2011 when I decided to dabble in to an interest that I have always admired through others pieces – photography. Already having a life long love of art and color, I decided to mix the 3 together and create the kind of art I love – happy, fun, bright and unexpected. I love color and the effect it has on one’s mood. I like taking ordinary, everyday things and sights and adding a fun, colorful twist on them with a variety of vintage to modern finishes and effects. There is beauty in everything all around, and it can be brought out in fun and unexpected ways! I truly love what I do and hope it shows in my work!

The DENY Designs featured artist of the week is: Duane Hosein.  Recently added to the DENY Designs family, Duane’s incredibly detailed illustrations are ones we fell in love with the moment we saw them.

Duane Hosein The Immortal Doctor Throw Pillow

About Duane Hosein:

Duane Hosein is a New York based artist, illustrator and insomniac. The majority of his childhood was spent either hiding behind the pages of a book or drawing at the dining room table. As a result, he developed an aversion towards reality, combined with a desire to dwell in a world untainted by limitations. His work reflects a strong connection with nature and an almost unhealthy obsession to detail.

Check out some of Duane’s art on DENY Designs products:

The DENY Designs featured artist of the week is Lana Greban. New to the DENY Designs family just this past month, Lana takes glamourous to a whole new level. Her show-stopping, fashionable designs are ones that we think you’ll love as much as we do – and can add just the super chic touch to your home that you needed.

Lana Greben China Doll Fleece Throw Blanket

About Lana Greben:

Born in Ukraine, Lana Greben received a law degree from Dnipropetrovsk State University before moving to Québec, Canada. There, she received a degree in fine arts from the University of Quebec in Abitibi-Temiscamingue.

“Through their creations, fashion designers create styles, imply values, aesthetics and lifestyles. Fashion, for me, is all about the power of emotion, seduction and passion. My work explores the fascinating interrelation between art and fashion, one in which there is something of a role reversal. Fashion magazines, fashion photography and graphic design, in claiming and validating the visceral emotions and desires evoked by fashion, have themselves become powerful sources of inspiration” Lana said.

Lana’s artistic philosophy can be summed up in one statement: “Art is my lifestyle and fashion is my world.”

Check out some of her fabulous designs on DENY products:

About Heather Dutton:

“For as long as I can remember, I knew that I was destined for a  creative future. My mom always told me that I could be whatever I wanted to be as long as I worked hard & followed my dreams (thanks, mom!). It was that encouragement that led me to art school at SCAD,  where I studied fashion design and had my eyes opened to the amazing world of textile design for the first time.”

“After years of working my way around the fashion industry in San Francisco, I still couldn’t shake my love for textiles & the world of surface design. Remembering my mom’s inspiring words, I took a leap &
Hang Tight Studio was born.”

“It’s been an amazing ride so far & I feel lucky every day I wake up… realizing I get to draw & create.
My lime green studio is filled with wee little things that make me smile… along with two kitties & my sweet Sussex spaniel Emma Jean.”

“When I’m not working, odds are, you’ll find me scouring flea markets, watching movies or going for an impromptu drive to wherever the road ends up taking me.”

We wanted to share some of our favorites from Pinterest, because they are too good to keep to ourselves:

Now, if we could only find a mansion to put all of these ideas in…and a big wad of cash.
