HIGHWAYS.COMTEXAS WILDFLOWERS BURST into bloom on printed goods by Aletha St. Romain. A New
Orleans native now based in Austin, St. Romain is a trained illustrator with a talent for bringing
native fl ora to life in exquisitely detailed watercolor paintings. Prints of her colorful bouquets
embellish notecards as well as aprons and tote bags made of 100-percent organic Texas cotton.
You don’t have to wait until spring to enjoy the bluebonnets. She got the idea to paint wearable
artwork when she met a woman who had been displaced by Hurricane Katrina. “She was so
complimentary of my artwork. I offered to give her a painting, but she didn’t have any walls on
which to hang art,” St. Romain says. “I asked if she’d like an apron so she could wear my art; she
really liked that idea.”Shop more products illustrated by Aletha at shop.texashighways.comTote Bag $24.95
