Art That Refuses to Blend In.

Every surface deserves to stand out. Rochelle Weiner Carr’s patterns mix color, wit, and personality – all hand-drawn, no AI, no shortcuts – because ordinary is overrated.

From the Drawing Board

Four designs that haven’t even had time to get famous yet. If you must have more, view all collections.

The Grande Macabre

This design placed #5 out of 927 entries in Spoonflower’s Opulent Halloween challenge! Gothic creatures framed within pointed cathedral arches and a cracked surface that suggests centuries of stone and shadow. Owls, gargoyles, moths, bats, and skulls occupy every arch, bound together by Celtic knots — an opulent but frightening damask for those who celebrate Halloween all year.

Perfectly Dreadful Halloween

A vintage-style Halloween horror pattern featuring classic monsters – vampires, werewolf, Frankenstein, mummy, skull, jack-o-lantern, and witch doctor, inspired by Victorian woodblock printing and penny press illustration.

Gertie’s Chintz Chair

A maximalist botanical wallpaper rooted in the Indian block print origins of chintz — the grandmacore aesthetic done with genuine historical depth. Fantastical blooms, perching birds, and flowering branches fill a repeating framework that conceals the unmistakable silhouette of a well-loved wingback chair, tufting buttons and all. Gertie knew what she was doing.

Cabana Republic

This design was voted #45 out of 1378 entries in the Faded Resort design challenge at Spoonflower!

Watercolor-striped vintage cabanas, as crowded as the beach on a hot August afternoon. Hand-painted texture, sun-bleached palette, and the general air of a beach club in 1967. I can hear the ice clinking from here.

Award-Winning Surface Pattern Designs

Since 2023, I’ve entered every Spoonflower design challenge without missing one — over 100 consecutive entries and counting.

Each pattern reflects a commitment to originality, craft, and designs made to live beautifully on fabric and wallpaper.

Rochelle's Art has been integral to my business.

Rochelle is an incredible artist. Her art has been integral to my business, and I was lucky to find her! Her vision is astounding and she is an absolute wizard with textures. Furthermore, she is amazing to work with — I can babble some random ideas and, POOF! She turns my words into something magical.

I love working with Ro!

Rochelle is a joy to work with and an asset to any creative project. She always brings a delightfully unique perspective and her contribution never fails to elevate the end product. Ro is that rare combination of an inspired artist with a keen understanding of business, always willing to go the extra mile to make sure the project sings.
