Dandy Scarf Large Print - Autumn 2024 Collection

Fluid and beautiful draped scarves are the perfect way to dress up any outfit and wear art where you go.

The original artwork on this limited edition piece was painted by artist Helaine Becker (that's me!). My current art process is entirely digital, i.e., I paint on a computer. Nevertheless, my pieces are still hand-painted. I use a stylus as my brush, and pixels as my paint. Every piece is signed. 

My fine art has appeared in juried shows and is exhibited in galleries, offices, and homes around the world. Dandy is adapted from a large, exuberant piece that features a lively dandelion motif.  (the original artwork can be viewed and purchased through my companion website,  www.HelaineBeckerArt.com). 

In this Winter '25, limited edition collection, bursting blooms in vibrant pink and orange are set off by vivid dynamic brushstrokes (Be sure to check out the other pieces in this dramatic collection and coordinate your look!). 

I work closely with a custom art printer to translate my designs for all of the different products in each limited edition collection. Since all designs are available only in small quantities, each pattern  will be retired when supplies run out (approximately eight months after introduction).  They never go on sale, so purchase yours sooner rather than later...
