We were instantly drawn to Susan Brown’s romantic and feminine paintings – they are a natural fit with so much of our furniture, and we are thrilled to be able to expose her work to our Layla Grayce customers. Susan fuses her passion for painting, making music and writing to create floral paintings crafted with a sense of poetry and joyful exuberance. Inspired by her vision and the fabulous vintage collages we enjoy on her blog, we asked Susan to share her artistic point of view.
