Lately I have been doing one of my very favorite things: redecorating my house! I seriously LOVE to mix things up every now and then, and give our rooms little facelifts! My husband says I am always redecorating and at first I didn’t agree with him, buuuut then I decided he was kinda right! I totally love finding new things for my home {any day of the week, month or year} and totally appreciate amazing and simple artwork!
When I stumbled upon Le Marigny, I wanted to buy SO many things from their shop for my house! A printable? A canvas? And then I saw their mugs?! I obviously knew right away, I HAD to share their shop with all of my YOU {my besties!}.
Sara, the owner and creator of Le Marigny, is 28 years old and has been married to a cinematographer for almost six years! They also have one fur baby “Joel” {her almost five-year-old cat!}. She was born in Ohio, grew up in Upstate New York and has lived in Chicago, Michigan and Lafayette, Louisiana as well. She currently lives in New Orleans.
Sara is an architecture junkie and studied Interior Architecture & Art History at Columbia College in Chicago. She loves God, art, architecture and people!
Sara says, “During my life people always ask me how is it that I’m so creative. How do you do it? What’s the trick? Etc. I have no real answer. Honestly, I have never known anything other than being creative. That is at the center of who God created me to be. I have been drawing since I was old enough to hold a crayon. My parent’s can attest to the amount of coloring books, sketchbooks, crayons and colored pencils that accumulated in our home. In High School I was in the art room during all my free time. I wanted to be drawing, painting, creating! Even my math tests had doodles and sketches all over them…and rarely had any real math on them. 🙂 “When it comes to art, Sara can pretty much do it ALL! She is SO talented, you guys! She can knit or sew or do most anything artsy or creative, but recently she rediscovered her love for the simplicity of drawing. She says, “There is something special about a simple black and white line drawing.”
During her own journey and reflections, Sara has found it be therapeutic to draw Truth in a way that can be shared with the world. She continues, “Drawing and hand lettering is where God has me right now. I hope and pray that the Truth of the words in these prints and cards find a warm place in your heart!”
So, where did she come up with Le Marigny as her shop’s name?!
Faubourg Marigny (FO-berg Mari-nee) is one of the most colorful neighborhoods in New Orleans, the architecture borrows heavily from the colonial French and Spanish and has elements of the Caribbean, this unique blending of architectural elements over the last three centuries has resulted in an architectural style unique to the city of New Orleans. Frenchmen Street in Faubourg Marigny developed one of the city’s premier collections of live music venues and restaurants and is home to jazz composer/musician Jelly Roll Morton and singer Lizzie Miles. How amazing is that?! Doesn’t it make you want to go visit right NOW?!
From mugs and printables, to canvas & wood – Le Marigny has it ALL! I am seriously in LOVE with her work and you are going to too!
