Kari Anne Marstein




Foxes, yes, more foxes. But these are special, colourful fellows, don't you think? As soon as I saw them, I knew they'd be perfect for decorating a little one's room or for brightening up play spaces and living areas.

When I digged and delved a bit more, I found out that Kari Anne is working on a new exhibition of children's paintings, planned for March. Here's a sample of her previous work from her portfolio.



Kari has her own epla shop (new-to-me epla is a Norwegian marketplace for crafts and handmade goods, you need to check it out!) selling original paintings similar to the ones above and her fun, toy-based photography.

Of course, this Norwegian "flea market/interior design enthusiast" has a wonderful, inspiring blog full of vintage finds, home decor ideas and colour! Go look for yourself! It's a happy, uplifting place to be, believe me.
