Gywnne describes the theme for this bench as “Dutch architecture meets Mexican art”. As an interior design and architecture student, Gywnne spends most of her time creating digital designs, so she enjoyed a chance do to some hands-on painting for this project. Fueled by her interest and experience in furniture design, this piece pairs bright colors and energetic design which are common themes throughout her work.
Growing up surrounded by art, Gwynne’s mother is an art teacher and painter who also runs her own art studio. Inspired to pursue a career in art, Gwynne also enjoys creating collages.
Gwynne was a junior studying Interior Design and Architecture at the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design (MIAD) when she designed and painted this bench in Summer 2024.
