Another shot of my booth from #surtex2017 . Still gleaming from all the excitement 🎉 . . . . . #surtex #artlicensing #anniemoran #anniemoranart #anniemoran_illustration #watercolorartist #surfacedesign

On Friday night, I was all alone in my booth at the @javitscenter, in serious distress because my plan for customizing my booth walls was not working. I was way behind schedule setting up and had no idea how I would finish in time. These three angels, artisan sculptors from the Ivory Coast, walked by and offered to help me with zero hesitation. Friday night and Saturday morning they painted, they cut plywood, they stood up my wall panels and attached them for me. All this BEFORE beginning to set up their own booth for #icff2017. I cannot thank these guys enough and my heart is so full after being on the receiving end of such kindness. Please check out their beautiful work and buy something @avanaafrica ! #kindness is contagious!

A funny little trick I discovered while working on this pattern. #latenightartaccidents #surtex2017 #anniemoran #anniemoranart #anniemoranillustration #surfacedesign #surfacedesigner #surfacepattern #watercolor #floral #dsfloral #springfloral #spring #pastels

#tbt to last weekend when I got to wear my art to a wedding on the beach! I actually painted this crazy #butterfly #floral #composite with a dress in mind, but it took me a while to get around to designing the dress! 100% silk charmeuse dolman sleeve tunic dress with "wing thing" floral print (oops my scarf is hiding a lot of the print😕...it was chilly out there!) Available in sizes xs- xl . . . . . #anniemoran #artist #anniemoranart #surfacedesign #surfacedesigner #floral #composite #butterfly #watercolor #fashion #spring #resortwear (at Four Points by Sheraton Destin-Fort Walton Beach)

#spring has sprung! Busy as a #butterfly over here getting ready for #surtex2017 ! #May is coming too soon! #surfacedesign #watercolor #floral #artist #illustrator
