Detour By Rebecca Woolbright For Phoebe Fabrics

Rebecca Jane Woolbright is a self-taught surface pattern designer, illustrator and graphic designer. Her love of color plays into everything she creates. She grew up in a small, gold rush town in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada in Northern California. As a kid, one of her best friend’s family owned the local stationery store. together these two would walk from elementary school to their parents’ respective businesses (her dad was a goldsmith) and play in their stores.

But, let’s be honest here, she spent most of her time drooling over art supplies at her friend’s shop. Rebecca can still recall the look of the worn wood floors, the marker displays, all the paper, and the joy in making a seasonal window display.
