Ogee, I Love Color! by Shelly Penko

United States

United States

The ogee onion shape has been around for centuries for a reason. It can look traditional or modern and it is always pleasing. With such a simple shape, I love to play and go wild with color so I pulled inspiration from my gardens in this design; the blueish purple of my plumbago, the yellows and oranges of the bulbines and esperanza, the pink of my mandevilla vine...plus a bit of green for foliage. If it works in nature, it works anywhere...at least that is my rule!

About Shelly Penko

I am a fine artist and designer living in Austin, Texas. I graduated from the University of Texas with a degree in fine art in 1986. After graduating, I taught art in public schools for 16 years. I learned a lot from children about art, passion and play. Whether I am painting a work on canvas or designing on the computer, my art is inspired by the joy and sweetness of life and love.

I have always taken great joy in my surroundings; gardens or the ocean outdoors, beautiful interiors...they have the ability to transform my mood. A new notebook with a pretty cover can make me smile everytime I see it. A pretty bed cover can change my whole outlook. Whether it is pretty linens, a lovely carpet, colorful dishes...anything and everything that surrounds me, I love it to be beautiful. Beauty just makes my heart smile. The thought of someone else getting daily pleasure from something beautiful designed by me is why art and surface design are such passions for me!
