This is an illustration of the flower Pearcea Hypocyrtiflora, a native Ecuadorian flower now in danger of extinction. This drawing was done thanks to the photo of John Clark who authorized me to use it. The drawing was made by hand and the color was added digitally. This drawing has two aesthetic purposes: it can be used lone or it can be repeated to become a pattern.

About Beatriz Rendon

At the age of eighteen I found interest in drawing so I learned by making portrays of people, I also drew objects an animals. Later on I started exploring techniques. I paint with acrylics, watercolors and my favorite technique, watercolor pencils.

All designs that I have shown are based on the idea that art should spread knowledge about nature. Art as a tool to wake up that lost interest in even the most infinitesimal part of nature. This means that my artwork pretends to make awareness of our role in nature and not to become just an aesthetic whim.

All my life I have felt passion for nature and therefore sadness due to man´s destructive behavior. This interest and my personal conviction have led me to work without economical retribution for social causes. I have made logos for communities such as Bird Watch (CBC) and Local Barter System. I also have drawn and paint posters for theatrical plays and local social causes.
A los 18 años quise aprender a dibujar y así lo hice. Descubrí diversión en el dibujo y comencé a retratar personas, dibujar objetos y animales. Más tarde comencé a explorar diversas técnicas. Sé pintar en acrílicos, acuarelas y mi técnica favorita, lápices acuareleables.

Los diseños que les he entregado se basan en la idea de que el arte tiene que servir a la naturaleza. El arte como herramienta para despertar, ese interés perdido, en la hermosura mínima que aparece dentro de ella. Así mismo pretende lograr consciencia y no solo convertirse en un capricho estético.

Toda mi vida he sentido pasión por la naturaleza y con ello tristeza debido al comportamiento destructivo del hombre. Este interés y mi convicción personal me han llevado a trabajar sin retribución económica para clientes que se dedican a labores de interés comunitario. He hecho logos para diferentes movimientos como grupos de observación de aves y trueque de objetos. He hecho posters para obras de teatro y para causas sociales.

Excellent Service and Products
I wanted to reserve a carpet as I was abroad when I made my choice and there was only 1 left. I was able to telephone and speak to a very helpful lady who arranged for the carpet to be delivered 2 days after my return 3 weeks later. A week later, I chose another one with a 10% further discount for buying again and that arrived promptly also after another discussion with another helpful lady. I now have 2 fabulous rugs at a very decent price. Yes, the 'Handloom Fringe' carpet is shedding where one sits but I well remember a fitted carpet shedding for 6 months prior to stopping. So I hope it will stop eventually. DPD deliver promptly.
