Studio Daedre to design holiday illustration for Senate

Studio Daedre is proud to unveil a holiday image designed especially for the U.S. Senate Gift Shop in the Capital Building, Washington D.C. Neil Schwartz, Director of the Senate Gift Shop, looking for a fresh new image to add to the holiday cards this year, contacted Daedre Berryman, owner, creative director and artist of Studio Daedre, the premier fine art influenced paper and greeting card line in the West, about creating a fresh illustration that captures the excitement of the holiday season in D.C. Earlier this year, Berryman was contracted to design an image of cherry blossoms in front of the Capital Dome and as a result of this success, she was invited to design this new holiday image to include the Capital featuring the National Christmas Tree. One of the Director’s considerations in choosing Studio Daedre is that the cards are designed and made in America. The sparkle, which has become a signature of Studio Daedre’s designs, is added by hand individually on each illustration.

“This is a huge honor,” said Berryman, “I think of the last time that I was in D.C. during the holidays, how breathtaking our Capital was and the pride I felt visiting it. I tried to express my emotions in this illustration.”

Daedre Berryman, the designer behind Studio Daedre, has always been happiest when she is creating. A love of design inspired her to attend University at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo receiving two degrees in Architecture, obtaining her license and practicing architecture in Los Angeles for many years. She also loves to travel; visiting iconic buildings around the world to be inspired by different cultures and viewpoints. This has led to work with many iconic institutions including: The Kennedy Center, The Boston Museum of Fine Arts, The San Francisco Ballet, The Field Museum, The Hollywood Bowl, The Dallas Symphony, The Palm Springs Museum, Morse Museum of American Art, The Decorative Arts Museum of Ohio, and many more.

Studio Daedre is committed to producing superior quality product with exquisite illustrations and a hand made touch. Additionally, the Los Angeles based company, has been honored as a Louis Award Finalist in recognition of creative excellence in the greeting card and gift industry.
