Cinne’s creative process is driven by her love of color.

As a multi-disciplinary artist, C. Banning Accessories is a natural compliment to her graphic design business which is based out of San Francisco. Cinne’s artist expression is fueled by the stimulus of living in the city and by her passion for living a creative life.

Amber The selections were based around a pastel color palette. I wanted to mix abstract images with nature and texture. I think it captures a sense of playfulness that would fit well in anyone’s home.

C U R AT E D B Y:

Cinne For me, art in the home is critical to my sense of well-being. My creative work space could be described as a life-size Pinterest board buzzing with color, graphics and art. In contrast to this sensory rich environment, I decided to select items with a muted palette to create a meditative mood.

Nanako The beauty of nature plays prominently in my selections. Floral prints are a year round favorite and speak to me of the softness, yet strength of the feminine.

Who doesn’t feel beautiful surrounded by nature?
