Country home decorating with folk art

Simple comfy furniture, wood floors and soothing neutral wall colors naturally create a country feel enhanced by fresh flowers and bowls of fruit. Artfully arranged photographs on a side table personalize your room by inviting memories of family and friends. But how, you wonder, can you bring the country to those big bare walls in your new family room?

Country home decorating with Marie Fox prints and original paintings is the answer. Marie's country art prints will bring warmth and a sense of welcome to your colonial house or contemporary condo. They'll remind you of your own favorite childhood memories while creating a colorful focus on the wall. You can artfully group themes such as:

• day and night
• farm and seacoast
• interior and exterior
• family and community
• the seasons

Bring the country home with images that provoke scents, sounds and textures!

Painting in a country style is natural to Marie Fox. She grew up in New England in an 18th century house whose walls were adorned with stitched samplers and primitive paintings. She's always had a passion for making things. "My interior scenes are inspired by the happy hours I spent as a child lovingly decorating doll houses made of cardboard boxes."

Marie's primitive art has been shown in galleries across the country. It has appeared twice on the Today Show. Read more at Meet The Artist.
