PAYTON COSELL TURNER

B. 1986 NY, NY

My work is influenced by narratives of all kinds, especially by the written word. I often think about color: my favorite ones are pale peach, moss green, powder blue, tomato red, and lamp black. I co-founded the design studio Flat Vernacular at age 24 and have spent the past fourteen years as its CEO and co-creative director. In 2015, I co-founded Girls at Library, an online magazine about how literature deeply affects women’s lives. I illustrate for private clients and various companies, and my artwork has been in several shows, including one at the Birmingham Museum of Art. I am the author of a coloring book published by Potter Style in 2014, along with a suite of patterned paper goods. My patterns can be seen in private residences and public places across the globe. I welcome commissions of all kinds.
