A peek from last nights opening. So honored to show among such talented ladies, and so greatful to be in the right time and place in this life to make art just for arts sake. #atlantaarts #painting #illustration #cristante #carolinaparakeet #audubon

My artist brain wants to cover a small room top to bottom, floors and ceiling with this pattern and call it my happy place. My science brain wants to have different patterns in multiple rooms and use biofeedback equipment to see how they affect mood. Possible future art installation? Anywho, It's called Passion Pop and is currently available thru @spoonflower as fabric, wallpaper, or giftwrap. Make your happy place! #passionflower #designer #rebeccacristante #wallpaper #popart #happyplace #spoonflower #etsy #mompreneur

The boys were so proud to see their photo on the @weloveatl digital display today (so many great photos)....... and I got a sweet tea for free for being #beckywiththegoodhair ↓ #winning #weloveatl #beyonce #cnn (at CNN Center)

Getting started on some limited prints that will be available at @iceatlanta next month. Looking foward to seeing some of my favorite fellow crafters/makers/collectors and small business supporters! #cristante #sawpalmetto #indigo #longleafpine #iceatlanta #atlantamade #etsy #designatl #shopsmall #makersmovement (at Georgia Freight Depot)

For my 1000th IG post I'm giving away two of my limited edition "cat tail" block prints. One for you, and one for a friend. This image reminds me of childhood days spent trying to stir a canoe thru thick lilly pads and reeds and still being content with getting nowhere. There are two ways to win the print: either repost this image and tag me with #cristantegiveaway in the comments or simply share a comment below of a childhood memory when you felt contented with getting nowhere. I will randomly pick a winner 5/14 #cristante #printmaking #giveaway #etsy #spoonflower #designatl #swamp #typha #deepsouth #childhood #illustration #conservation

In my humble opinion, the finest work of art is not inside the @highmuseumofart, but out. Next time you are there, make sure to give some respect to this champion Ginko tree! #championtreeatl #ginkyo #ginkgophyta #ginko #ginkgobiloba #treemedicine #championtree #medicinalplants #weloveatl (at High Museum of Art, Atlanta)

Say hello to the tallest measured dogwood in the USA, tucked away on the side of a busy city street at @woodlandsgarden in Decatur, GA. I'm so glad this little patch of earth was saved from development years ago unlike everything around it. It's one of my favorite places! #dogwood #weloveatl #decaturga #championtreeatl (at Woodland Gardens)

Even the bees approve of my biodegradable plastic packaging! I have been using biodegradable plastic for the past five years. It costs more than cellophane and it doesn't last as long AND it sometimes crinkles up in the sun, but even still wish I wish it was an industry standard. Or better yet, no packaging at all ;) 20% off anything in my ETSY shop until mother's day with coupon code FORESTFRIENDS www.cristante.etsy.com #compost #cristante #etsy #savethebees #printmaking #worksonpaper #illustration #shopsmall #mothersday #sale #conservation #longleafpine @etsy @etsywholesale

Almost gave up on looking for the champian #blacklocust this morning, and then stumbled upon it by accident. It was glowing in the morning sunlight. These are the trees that have flagrant blossoms in the spring that resemble white wysteria pods. I wasnt expecting for it to be this tall, which is why I couldn't find it! #championtreeatl #championtree #weloveatl #decaturga #lookup (at Historic Decatur Cemetery)
