Catherine Ledner

I found these amazing photographs by Catherine Ledner today. She has a book out which covers her love for animal portraiture and wallpaper. The natural beauty of the live animals combined along side the stylized beauty of the patterns is a skillful match and a very pleasing aesthetic. The book is called 'Animal House' and as soon as I obtain a new bookshelf in order to resume the collecting of such books, this one will be top shelf!

The company's founder, Alastair McAuley wanted to create an affordable wallcovering line. Normally their wallpaper sells for around $1000 a roll but this is availble for $168.
