A bit about Art Ideas

The use of bold colors and shapes, incorporated with fun visual elements is the hallmark at Art Ideas. Owner T. Blayney Norton is a freelance artist in Bristol, Rhode Island. Art Ideas was founded in 1994.

Art Ideas provides illustration and graphic design services in addition to our retail line of hand-painted signs. Our whimsical, colorful and unique style is easily recognizable. Blayney's style has grown out of a life-long love of illustration and printmaking.

Inspiration for this whimsical style is reborn on frequent trips to the caribbean where the bright infusions of color have a purity that we strive to translate into our work.
Art Ideas produces a line of playful, fun signs that are always in production. The signs feature phrases such as "At the Beach," "Princess," "Lilly Lady" and "Disco Queen", etc. These signs are a great way of adding bright color and unique touch to a wall or door.

Art Ideas painted furniture, including beds, tables, chairs, lamps, stools and more, are all one-of-a-kind. We find many of our unique pieces in antique shops, at auctions and in local mills.

Art Ideas also offers a line of inspirational "Fish Boards." These boards, painted with big fish and inspirational sayings in their bellies, are the perfect accent for any wall in your home or office.
