Beautifully designed, affordable art to inspire hope and joy.
My name is Katie, a busy mum of two energetic girls. Barley Designs is born from when my husband was diagnosed with cancer, which led me to seek comfort in creativity. Nature and bold, contrasting colours hugely inspire me, and my superstitious nature drew me to magpies, believing they bring reassurance. This sparked a desire to create joyful art prints to uplift others in tough times. Over time, my designs expanded to include wordplay, prints for kids, and mindful pieces reflecting life’s beauty, even amid adversity.
