Her work ranges from fun, affordable prints (including a collaboration with Bed Threads) to one-of-a-kind textured paintings, all infused with a holiday spirit that inspires La Dolce Vita, wherever you might be.

Gabrielle Diamantis

Working from a dreamy beachside studio on Australia’s Sunshine Coast, painter Gabrielle Diamantis creates lively works that celebrate sunkissed Australian summers. Equal parts modern and nostalgic, her work evokes memories of hot feet and cold icy-poles, faded deck chairs in the sun. If her current work is anything to go by, we just know she has an incredible future ahead of her.

Gemma Bamforth

New York-based artist, textile designer and ceramicist Gabriella Picone is certainly one to watch. After studying at the Rhode Island School of Design and working in some of the world’s most famous art galleries including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), Gabriella founded her own business, Idda Studio, where she creates breathtaking paintings, ceramics and textiles. “With Idda Studio, I wanted to bring the unique handmade quality of painting to functional objects for the home," she shared with Bed Threads Journal last year. Inspired by her Sicilian roots and the women in her family, Gabriella’s work is an ode to colour, joy and the beauty of the female form.
