From art, to fabric, to frame. Meet the The Keeping House x Inslee Fariss collaboration, exclusively available on Society Social's Gigi Wavy Bench. A study in beautiful abundance, this original layered garden brings together delicate blooms, winding stems, and unexpected washes of color. Inspired by the effortless romance of an overgrown garden, it feels collected, timeless, and just wild enough.
Inslee Fariss is a Raleigh, North Carolina based artist.
Inslee's whimsical and playful creativity is an identifying thread woven through all her artistry. Her brush brings lightness to everything she puts down on paper (or canvas).
Inslee began her life's work as a professional artist while studying Art History at Washington & Lee University in Lexington, Virginia. Her career took her to New York City where she worked from her downtown studio for many years before returning to the south to raise her family and paint every darn plant, flower, insect and animal Raleigh has to offer.
She has worked with wonderful clients - both private individual commissions and for large companies. Inslee's clients include Oscar de la Renta, Anthropologie, Lela Rose, Neely & Chloe, Pamela Munson, and Baybala Women's & Children's Wear.
Each pattern begins with a ghost of the past: an 18th-century French quilt, an Anglo-Indian chintz, a 17th-century Italian tear sheet, and handwoven traditions from across centuries and cultures.
