q+a | julie marabelle of famille summerbelle.
Oh my, big love to Famille Summerbelle! In addition to being a beautiful piece of artwork, the Family Trees are an amazing way to represent a diverse family. Perhaps a family that would not normally fit into the standard family tree format.. step-families, adopted children and otherwise. Brilliant!
When you were a kid what did you want to be when you grew up?
I don't think I had a specific idea of what I wanted to be, I just knew from an early age that I wanted to draw, paint and just have fun creating different things.
You have a rich background in art & design. What inspired you to start Famille Summerbelle?
My daughter is the inspiration behind Famille Summerbelle. Our first collection (cushions-wallpaper-Family Trees) was designed with her bedroom and our home in mind. I wanted to create products that would fit into our 'grown-up' lifestyle and also for her to interact with, like pointing at the birds on the wallpaper or naming her loved ones on the Family Trees.
What does the rest of '08 and 2009 hold for you?
We have decided to take 3 months in our busy life to go explore the World as a Family (my husband and 2 year old Ophelia) and to get lots of inspiration for Famille Summerbelle. We are currently in Japan and next we're off the Malaysia, then Australia, New-Zealand, the Fiji Islands and finally the US...a busy and exciting end to 2008!
Thank you Julie! To read more about Julie's tour of the world, check out her blog. Just like you're a part of her family.
