About Regina Kareev

Hi! I’m Regina Kareev, an artist and textile designer based in the San Francisco Bay Area, where I work from my studio in Campbell.

My designs are inspired by memories, mundane objects, and, of course, nature. I love color, texture, organic shapes and unexpected patterns. I enjoy creating artwork for bolt fabric and throw blankets.

I started painting at an early age, and became drawn to textiles and couture as a teenager. I was sewing and even designing some of my clothes in high school.

Textiles have always been a significant part of my life and memories. Like the color and texture of a woven blanket, I had on my bed. The crinkled fabric drapes with blue flowers on them that I held onto while looking out the window. Green floral upholstery fabric covering the sofa in the living room. They made me feel grounded and gave a sense of home, safety, and belonging.

So, when I realized that designing patterns for fabric can be a career path, it wasn't even a question for me. Pursuing textile design allows me to combine these two passions and see my artwork come alive on products.
I hope that throw blankets and fabric with my designs can create the same sense of home for other people too.

If you’d like to own a cotton throw blanket designed by me, you can buy one here.

Four of my sketchbooks are a part of the collection of Brooklyn Art Library and were exhibited at a number of shows, including The Other Art Fair (London, UK, and Los Angeles, USA), SLOW Galerie (Paris, France).
