ARTIST BARRETT ERVIN DRAWS ON DECOR FOR IDEAS.<\/p>\n

Buckhead native Barrett Ervin can\u2019t remember a time when she wasn\u2019t drawing or painting. \u201cI took art classes all through high school and minored in art in col\u0002lege,\u201d says the 28-year-old. So when she moved into her own place, her interior designer mom, Beth Ervin, suggested she create some decor pieces. The results were so good that her mom then encouraged her to sell them.<\/p>\n

That inspiration launched a bud\u0002ding career that has become a full\u0002time enterprise thanks to Instagram, where her work has been viewed and purchased by people around the country whom she believes have been actively looking for \u201chap\u0002py, new things\u201d and snapping up her contemporary abstracts within minutes of their arrival online.<\/p>\n

\u201cI try to make my pieces tran\u0002sitional over time so they can go into any space,\u201d she says. \u201cI use mostly pastel acrylics and colored pencils. For a recent collection, I just did acrylic on paper, but for commissioned works, I\u2019ll work on canvas as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ervin is working on 16 large floral canvases for the ADAC showroom of Mrs. Howard, a high-end home furnishings and accessories store. And she\u2019s gearing up for her next online collection release in May.<\/p>\n

She attempts to assemble one collection each season, she says. Her last one had 20 pieces; some are up to 50. \u201cI specifically try to come up with a theme by brainstorming ideas or dabbling with something. For instance, my next collection is all dots that grew out of scribbles.\u201d<\/p>\n

The inspiration for Ervin\u2019s floral collection came from her mom. \u201cShe\u2019s really good at arranging flowers, and I drew on that. I also went to houses around the area and used the color palettes for inspiration. Sometimes I\u2019ll go to Scott Antique Markets; I get a lot of ideas from home decor or even from other artists on Instagram.\u201d Art as decor is never far from her mind, Erwin says. \u201cIt makes people happy to have something that makes a room look prettier and makes them feel good.\u201d<\/p>\n
