"For most of my past 48 fabric collections I have used flowers as the setting pieces to my animal illustrations. I have used them to fill in the gaps and frame my illustrations. They have always been a part of the drawing that I look forward to! It seemed to me that it was time to give these little backup dancers their time in the spotlight! In true “Tula” fashion, flowers alone would not have been enough for me. Some of my favorite pieces from past collections have been the small geometric prints that rarely get the same attention that the large detailed illustrations get.

In “Untamed” I have combined these elements so that each geometric is paired with a floral print that highlights the same shapes. A checker petal Peony on a checkered background has it’s own coordinating checkered print. A Dahlia covered in Polka Dots has a small polka dot print to pair with. A houndstooth acts as a lattice work for a collection of dogwoods and pansies to grow up and through, paired with a multi color traditional houndstooth pattern with a swath of neon running through it. For an added layer of depth I have added pigmented neon to the petals and geometrics which give the prints a magical glowing quality!"
