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.

Fresh Off the Drawing Board

Lilly’s Garden

An homage to Lilly Pulitzer’s Palm Beach prints, reworked with a block printer’s hand: caladium leaves with branching veins and banded edges, cut in a carved linework style and finished with a grasscloth texture. Preppy, a little tropical, and not trying too hard.

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.
