Quote from Anna Sui:

"I’m a big fan of Lisa Grue’s work!  I adore her geometric pastoral settings in graphic kaleidoscope roundels populated with adorable woodland creatures, owls and moths.  She’s made numerous variations of these for my line, and they are consistently top sellers…so I’m not the only one charmed by her aesthetic".
