Deidre Mosher Bio
Wildly Whimsical and Seriously Sassy Art is definitely a trademark of Deidre Mosher.
I have been in the business of art for over 25+ years. Starting out as a fashion illustrator, moving into Art Direction, where I did everything from print to TV...and eventually I found my way back to illustration. My art is just plain fun and my love of color is clearly evident in the designs I create. I'm currently licensed with a variety of companies...my designs are used on craft products, greeting cards/paper products, kitchenware, business products and such.
I am first and foremost an...Illustrator and Designer. I am inspired by seriously sassy & bold colors, but also love the 'wow factor' of classic black and white designs. I'm crazy for stripes and dots, and they are a repeated theme in my work.
As an Illustrator, I work in many mediums and styles, ranging from the line art to pastels...having fun adapting them to the latest project. I am inspired by some my favorite artists ...Matisse's use of bold color, Klimt's knowledge of figures and lavish attention to detail, and Gauguin's wild approach to his subjects. They are all so 'awe inspiring'! I'm happiest when I am in my studio and starting a new project...making a mess, experimenting...and even throwing paint.
Any day in the studio is a great day!
I usually get an idea when I least expect it...so when the 'light bulb' goes off...I sketch and sketch and sketch...(hence the reason I buy tracing paper in bulk). I always begin with a pencil and paper, and it evolves from there. My favorite part of the process?? EVERYTHING...from beginning to end.


Now for some inspiration from our very talented Design Team, using some Deidre Mosher images:












We hope these samples inspire you to create and join in our challenge this week.

    Thanks so much for selecting my card! I've only been participating in challenges for a few weeks now and I am truly honored and humbled to have been the winner last week!
    One problem though. I've tried a couple of times to use the email posted for Arlana and it keeps getting returned. (Insert very sad face) I'd really love to try Stamp Fairy products. Is there another email I should be using?
    Thanks--
    Roberta

    Your sketches are always so fun to play along with and offer the opportunity to use so many layers. (Sometimes that is fun and sometimes it is such a challenge--this time it was fun!)
