I love Vera Neumann!!!!!
Vera Neumann (1907-1993) was an American-born artist who started a design company from her kitchen table in 1947. She is best known for her extensive, prolific designs for home décor, fine art and industrial products. Her designs are full of rich, vibrant colors and expressive symbols. Her logo is recognized all over the world for its simply "Vera" title next to the distinctive, colorful ladybug.
Vera's designs have translated well over the years into wearables such as scarves, jackets and jewelry. You can also find her designs on bedding, tableware, glassware, ceramics and virtually any household item imaginable. Vera believed that people should surround themselves with art.
Vera was by far the most successful entrepreneur of her time. Her company the Vera Company (http://www.theveracompany.com), owns the entire collection of Vera's designs and sells licensed items in high end stores like Bloomingdales, Nordstrom's and Lord and Taylor.
There is a lovely book on Vera and her life in design. It's called "The Art and life of an Icon" by Susan Seid.
