I&#8217;m so excited to be guest posting on The Goods. On <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artsocialonline.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">artsocial<\/a> I talk a lot about my art crushes. Well, let me tell you, the Uncommon Artist Gallery has some seriously crush-worthy artists. Like whoa. They need to be discussed. First up is Chicago artist, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/artist?23884\" target=\"_blank\">Kate Lewis<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/product\/green-flowers-kate-lewis?source=blog\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/green-flowers.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Green Flowers by Kate Lewis | UncommonGoods\" width=\"550\" height=\"546\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/green-flowers.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/green-flowers-125x125.jpg 125w, https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/green-flowers-300x297.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/green-flowers-45x45.jpg 45w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a>Kate creates still-lifes of her sunny Victorian home using vibrant acrylics and watercolors. Like intimate portraits, her work captures the thoughtfully designed corners of her home and daily life. From bold patterns to vases overflowing with flowers to stacks of colorful books, Kate&#8217;s work proves beauty really is in the details.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/product\/green-poppy-love-chair-kate-lewis?source=blog\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/green-poppy-love-chair.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Green Poppy Love Chair by Kate Lewis | UncommonGoods\" width=\"550\" height=\"550\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23801\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/green-poppy-love-chair.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/green-poppy-love-chair-125x125.jpg 125w, https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/green-poppy-love-chair-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/green-poppy-love-chair-45x45.jpg 45w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a>Kate finds inspiration from design and fashion magazines, blogs, Pinterest, and from decorating her own home. Her beautifully constructed and colorful paintings mirror the trends in interior design we love so much. Unexpected colors and patterns? Yes, please.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/product\/twinkle-twinkle-kate-lewis?source=blog\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/twinkle-twinkle.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Twinkle Twinkle by Kate Lewis | UncommonGoods\" width=\"550\" height=\"551\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23802\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/twinkle-twinkle.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/twinkle-twinkle-125x125.jpg 125w, https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/twinkle-twinkle-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/twinkle-twinkle-45x45.jpg 45w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a>Twinkle Twinkle (above) is definitely my favorite. It&#8217;s as if we&#8217;re guests at her effortlessly charming backyard party. I can almost hear the music and taste that watermelon! Delicious.<\/p>\n<p>Kate captures the essence of what life at home should be. Calm and inviting spaces filled with fragrant bouquets, good books, and big comfy chairs. She makes me want to redecorate! I should at least start buying more fresh flowers&#8230; OR I could get one of Kate&#8217;s paintings. Art is way better than flowers, don&#8217;t you think?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Erin of artsocial crushes on UncommonGoods artist Kate Lewis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":67,"featured_media":23803,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[742],"tags":[557,1195,40,37,926,525],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23797"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/67"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23797"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23797\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23803"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23797"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23797"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23797"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
