This is a redesign of a site on Wordpress. The gallery features a wide range of arts and crafts by artists located throughout the state.

The first challenge was developing a design that complimented each artist and was somewhat neutral while still being interesting. The gallery owner is Japanese and her art is primarily in textiles. I created different simple background graphics based on patterns found in various Japanese textiles. Some of these patterns are in a dark blue ink as an homage to the fabric dyes used in many Japanese fabrics. And, some of the patterns are in a light beige - chosen to represent the dusty landscape and because it compliments the dark blue.

The second challenge was create mini profiles for each artist with a gallery of images showcasing their work. Most of the artists do not have their own website, so this was an opportunity to to give them an online presence. It also required extensive research to find information and images for each artist.
