Phyllis Orzalli is a freelance textile designer and watercolor artist based in the Northern California foothills, creating hand-painted floral surface patterns for women's contemporary fashion. Her practice translates original watercolor paintings into seamless, production-ready repeats, combining hand-painted artistry with trend awareness.

Hand-painted floral and botanical repeats for women's fashion, spanning wildflower bouquets, garden roses and peonies, autumn foliage motifs, and directional floral stripes.

The 8 selected_patterns are consistently floral and botanical, rendered from watercolor originals into finished repeats: dense wildflower bouquets in soft pink/coral/burgundy, an autumn floral with oak leaves and acorns, a directional blue floral stripe on a damask ground, a graphic black silhouette floral on cream, a bold jewel-tone floral with black accents, a saturated red-ground nasturtium botanical, a dusty ditsy rose floral, and a peony floral on a black ground. Palettes range from soft pastel to deep jewel-tone and black-ground colorways, unified by naturalistic flower forms and visible watercolor texture even where digitally finished (a "painted petals" logo watermark appears on several pattern files).

Women's contemporary fashion.

Hand-painted watercolor originals, using wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry techniques, later digitized into seamless repeats. Notably, the 4 selected_placements are not product mockups but original watercolor studies (an iris botanical study, a peony bouquet, a rose bouquet, and a white rose/floral spray) - direct evidence of the hand-painted source material behind the finished patterns.

No named clients are documented. Positions as an independent freelance practice open to collaborations, commissions, and licensing.

Phyllis Orzalli has painted in watercolor for 25+ years, since taking a class at her local college. She works from her studio in the Northern California foothills, drawing inspiration from her garden, nearby forest, and travel.
