Well why don’t you follow the artist, Maya Hayuk?

A couple of weeks ago Hannah wrote a post about pattern artwork.  I was really drawn to piece by Maya Hayuk.  Then a few days ago I saw a photo taken in NYC of Maya’s work on the street.  After a little more research I have found that Maya does it all…murals, street art, paintings, prints, and textiles!  A girl after my own heart.  Her bold and bright patterns are such stand outs, and really refreshing to see on the streets.
