About Matissimo.com

Greetings,

Thanks for visiting Matissimo.com! The home page and shop link takes you to my virtual boutique featuring exclusive designs applied to everyday items. All the artwork is by Leslie Newman (me) and this site allows me to get my work into the world. (Actually, It's an experiment to see if anyone out there is interested.) I know the hard part is getting people to visit the site, so if you like what you see please share my link.

Stylish, fun and fanciful, my original designs are inspired by modern art. Shape, nature, color, pattern are the elements of Matissimo exclusive designs. The artwork is applied to everyday items, t-shirts, mugs, aprons, clocks, note cards and much more. All are great gifts for a friend or yourself. When you order a matissimo product, it is printed-to-order by CafePress. CafePress handles the secure payment transaction and ships the finished items direct to you. Every Matissimo item you purchase is covered by a 30-day money back guarantee!

Explorations is a place to show what is growing in the garden or the sketchbook. Photos and sketches, miscellaneous musings. Just for fun!

Need a little inspiration? I'm building a list of books and CDs that I hope will inspire you, they work for me. You know how it is, you peruse a beautiful art book, read a great novel or listen to your favorite CD, you feel inspired and want to share the joy. That's what I hope to do, so check out the Inspirations booklist and play list. The items in the inspiration section link to Amazon, if you make a purchase you'll help to support this site.

I hope Matissimo.com is a source for inspiration and fun, and adds some color to your life. I encourage your comments and suggestions, what do you think of the work? the site? New designs will be added regularly so please check back to see what is new.

Leslie Newman
