The Arts and Crafts Movement swept across America in the early 1900's up till the mid 1930's. The art and craftsmanship of the Arts and Crafts movement promoted a simplier way of life and hand crafted art and original Arts and Craft style artwork were at the heart of this movement. It was a time when simple bungalow homes with their friendly open porches were the perfect family dwellings. This is the inspiration for my Arts and Crafts Style artwork series.
