We share a deep connection with nature. It gives us joy, comfort, delight. My goal is to provide you with artwork, as patterns and illustrations, that allow you to bring the beauty of nature into your world.
Whether you’re a sewist wanting a quiet and peaceful pattern of woodland animals for baby blankets, or an interior designer looking to create a serene inside space with delicate fern traceries on wallpaper, you’ll find patterns and illustrations here that will inspire you.
Create an oasis in your home with fabric and wallpaper that captures the delicacy and beauty of nature, with hand-drawn flora and fauna.
Hi, I’m Dale
I’m a surface pattern designer based in Ontario, Canada, and I create artwork for licensing. I also create designs for custom collaborations with brands looking to bring a warm, organic aesthetic to their products.
My work is hand-drawn and starts with pencil sketches and watercolour paintings, that I digitize and turn into patterns.
The wonder of nature is a constant source of inspiration. The shapes, the colours, the light shining through the trees. I'm especially drawn to the rich hues of the leaves changing in the fall and fresh new growth of budding blooms in the spring.
Explore these thoughtfully crafted pattern designs made with fabric, baby apparel, wallpaper, and home goods in mind.
Patterns from nature for sewists, interior designers and product manufacturers
“She has a wonderful ability to translate feeling into form.”
Working with you has been a rare and meaningful experience. You don’t just create patterns, you create connections. Through this process, it felt as though you came to know my mother through her words and that sensitivity is embedded in every detail of the designs. Your work carries warmth, integrity and soul. I look forward to continuing to collaborate with you and can’t recommend you highly enough.

Whether you’re looking to purchase designs for fabric to sew cushions or children’s clothes, wallpaper to bring your garden indoors, or license artwork for your products or packaging, my designs suit fabric, wallpaper and home goods.
My patterns can be licensed directly from me. If you need something different, I can also design custom artwork in collaboration with you that perfectly fits your project.
