Artist Carolyn Gavin<\/a> and her puppy Eggroll, photos by Jen Coleman<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

If you deconstruct the most inspiring quotes throughout history, you\u2019ll find that they all have a few things in common: great wordsmithing, flawless pacing, memorable messaging. So when I asked artist Carolyn Gavin what inspires her to illustrate quotes, I thought she might say she enjoyed experimenting with fonts in watercolor, or that wanted her art to honor influential leaders or her favorite musicians. I quickly learned that these assumptions were too surface level for an artist who uses color like Carolyn. When describing her design process for our \u201cWorld is Full of Magic<\/a>\u201d print, she simply said, \u201cit\u2019s just a feeling. I knew that quote would need flowers.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
