Blogging may start as an outlet for the writer, but it can soon spring board into a new career or life’s direction. I love getting to know a blogger through their posts, then watching their successes. It’s almost like we all get to share in that. I have a heart for a person with an entrepreneurial spirit; someone who takes a chance, and puts themselves on display for the world to see, and unfortunately, to judge. I think we should build each other up, and encourage those that have the nerve to expose their talents.
So with that speech, I’m starting a monthly {Blogger Spotlight} series that supports and applauds those bloggers that dared to reach their dreams, and share their talents with us.
Sarah Swanson of Flourish Design + Style has been a favorite blogger of mine for awhile, with a wicked eye for clean and sharp design. She opened her shop of affordable art, GALLERY WALL by Sarah Swanson Design, as an easy way to add character, personality, and charm to your home. Whether you’re
filling frames to build a gallery wall, or layering it in a bookcase, GALLERY WALL pieces will
give you the boldness you want. And what’s even better, is Sarah sells her original watercolors for only $10 each.
It’s no wonder people scoop them up every time she stocks her shop.

Sarah also creates gorgeous room designs, with some highlighting her artwork.
The lovely Christine has used GALLERY WALL prints in her designs, as well.

The inventory is constantly changing, and you’re sure to find something to suit your style and color palette.
Bravo, Sarah!
I love these! Just added her shop to my favorites!
What a great idea! Also, I can see why you have followed her for so long. She has impeccable style.
Sarah rocks so much. Love mine of hers 🙂 xx
I've recently started following her blog and love her artwork too. It's so simple and sophisticated! Great Spotlight!
Thank you Cassie, wow.. so honored 🙂 xoxo
Very cool Cassie! You are so sweet to highlight other people on your blog. And thanks for the introduction to Sarah and her work.
Love her prints! And for ten bucks…can't beat that! Such a talented woman!

I ADORE Sarah and her uber talented self- so happy to see her featured here. And thanks for the sweet mention lovely:)
I love designer highlights. So encouraging to see other design professionals branching into blogging and as you said allowing their work to be judged by all. Puts you in a very vulnerable spot! This work is beautiful and I agree 100% her eye for design is spot on. As is yours!!! Keep up the wonderful work.
Cassie, thanks for sharing! This gives me hope! I am taking a painting class and hope to be sharing my work in the near future. Love Sarah's simple yet interesting approach to art!
I'm sorry. Minimalism without apparent depth and/or contrast is a waste of canvas. At the end of the day its just brush strokes. Minimalism is not just making something light, it is fitting the most amount of meaning, depth, and contrast into the least amount of technique. But if it is appreciated, it is art. And this is a personal opinion. So carry on.
I love seeing bloggers highlighting other bloggers – this community is so uplifting and encouraging. Thanks for the intro.
Sorry, love your site but I keep getting attacks from Fake App. Luckily Norton blocks but any ideas?
Fabulous idea for a series! I can't wait to learn about some new blogs!
