“I started blogging about my work, and opened an online shop on Etsy,” she recalled in an interview with You Are Brave. “People around the world started reading my blog and buying my things, and I got some wholesale orders to the USA, and suddenly I found that I was a designer with a design business.”

What started as a creative experiment of sorts quickly took off, and nowadays Moor has her own store in Cape Town, South Africa (Skinny laMinx), where she sells anything from cushions and tea towels to table runners, all decked out with her vibrant patterns. “The Skinny laMinx recipe is simple,” reads her website, “Mix together a love of pattern, a cute shop, a top-notch team, and top it all off with equal parts playful and chic.”

Her inspiration is varied and comes from everyday things like cactuses, teacups, staircases, and vibracrete walls. “I usually have a notebook with me, where I make sketches, and I take a lot of photographs of textures, details, juxtapositions, and compositions that seem to give me ideas,” says Moore.

Her patterns and illustrations (assembled piece by piece) adorn all sorts of different products, anything from bedding, rugs, and pillows to aprons, floor tiles, and stationery. “That’s one of the things I love most about what I do,” she told Ballpit Magazine. “I never know what new kind of product collaboration is around the corner.”

Describing her wors as “fresh, whimsical, organic yet graphic, graceful and modern, with a nod to days gone by”, she adds that: “Sometimes my work is incredibly minimal and simple, other times, quite complex. I like to bury little hidden treasures in my work, little details that you only notice when you’ve taken time to really look at them.”

But whatever the level of detail, the finished product is always delightfully pleasing. “Art has the potential to really move people, and therefore, I find art is full of hope,” says Olwen. “And on a far more superficial level, art just brings beauty to the everyday… and I feel we need that now more than ever.” PREACH!

Receiving her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Interdisciplinary Art Studies from the Kansas City Art Institute in Missouri, her focus was textiles, but she was always “a paper person.”

“I was learning surface design and weaving I was also creating sculptures and installations out of cut paper,” she told the Urban Outfitters blog. “I went on to work for Jonathan Adler who is a master of interiors. The unique and storied objects he creates continue to inspire me. Wallpaper seemed like a melding of my life experiences, I want to make things that enliven a space, that provide creative energy and inspiration for its inhabitants.”

She now sells her uniquely designed wallpapers, with the aim of adding a pop of color to their surroundings with minimum hassle. “An idea for a pattern can really pop up out of nowhere or sometimes it’s in a museum looking at works of art or it might come out of playful experimentation in my studio,” she explained. “You can’t force the creative process so I always have multiple things in the works. Some designs take longer than others and some are formed in a momentary sketch.”
