DESIGn process
Custom Design is the foundation of DONA SCARVES
Designing with Purpose, Vision and Experience
We offer museums the opportunity to create wearable art that reinforces the experience of each unique institution.
I personally work with each shop director to best understand their specific mission while drawing from all photographs presented, their design directive, online research and my background in architecture, interior design, graphic design and photography to insure a design outcome that meets and exceeds all expectations.
The better the images and communication, the better the final outcome.
We charge design fees unless you provide art work that is totally print ready. Most experienced shop directors understand this but we just want to ensure that there are no surprises. Please refer to or request our price sheet for more information.
Part of the Cummer Museum’s permanent collection is a painting by Joseph Rodefer de Camp “The Red Kimono” painted 1919.
I was simply fascinated with the image and thought it would be really interesting to take the window panes out of the picture and fill it in with the view of the Cummer’s beautiful gardens and the St. John’s River.
In the next gallery over is a vast collection of Meissen porcelain. I began to embellish the table and ledge in the painting with several colorful pieces from this collection.
In the center of the scarf I positioned part of the flowers in the garden and on top of that I layered some of the beautiful fretwork from the ceiling of the Cummer family’s tudor parlor room.
This scarf has a lot going on but holds an interesting perspective of their collections, gardens and architecture. A big thanks to Susan Tudor for her support and direction.
