Have you ever looked up through a dense group of trees and watched the leaves dance in the sunlight?

That fleeting, moment of gently swaying tree branches inspired View from a Swing—a piece that reflects the joy of seeing nature from a fresh perspective. It’s how we approach all our work—capturing small, meaningful moments in art and design.

Hi, I’m Becki, the artist behind Tallgrass Design Studio.

I’ve always found magic in the quiet moments—sunlight filtering through the trees, the intricate patterns of leaves above my head, the way nature invites us to pause and just be still. These moments inspire my art, from hand-illustrated designs to fabric creations, each carrying a piece of the natural world.

Tallgrass Design Studio is my way of capturing that magic—through hand-illustrated designs, fabric creations, and art inspired by the natural world. Every piece I create is meant to bring warmth, joy, and a sense of connection to the beauty around us.

I’d love to share more of this creative journey with you. If you’d like to see new designs, behind-the-scenes moments, and glimpses of the process, let’s stay connected!

Every design I create begins with an idea sparked by nature—whether it’s a delicate leaf pattern, the flight of a bird, or the rhythm of tallgrass swaying in the wind. I sketch by hand, explore textures, and experiment with block printing and illustration to bring each vision to life.

My work is a celebration of nature’s beauty, and I hope it brings a sense of peace and joy into your world.
