The City's Natural Elements

I came across the Cleveland based etsy shop Smashing and instantly loved her work. Such a quiet reflection of the city's architecture and nature.

Think: Environmentally distressed heightened by beautiful pops of color.



Smashing artist Kathy Patton is inspired by her surroundings--whether it's a decayed building with bright spray paint or shiny stones sifted into the debris on a beach.

"I think of my pieces as something you'd find in a mermaid's treasure box." Glimpses and grabs of the city.
