Colors of Joy: From Matisse & Mondrian to Lettery Lou

“With color one obtains an energy that seems to stem from witchcraft.”  Henri Matisse

Henri Matisse once described color as a form of magic, an invisible force that radiates energy and transforms the way we feel. His bold, unapologetic palettes were never just about decoration; they were about life itself, a celebration of joy, vitality, and freedom.

Similarly, Piet Mondrian sought harmony and strength through his iconic blocks of red, yellow, and blue. His structured lines and pure colors symbolized balance and clarity, turning abstraction into a language of energy and order.

At Meri Lou Jewelry, I carried these visions with me when creating the Lettery Lou Collection. The vibrant enamels and personalized letters are not just decorative; they are symbols of joy, energy, and the quiet power to follow your dreams.

Like Matisse, I believe colors hold a spellbinding energy, one that can lift us, inspire us, and remind us of our inner strength. Like Mondrian, I believe in structure and clarity, block of color, each letter, a declaration of identity and purpose.

The Lettery Lou Collection is my way of weaving these artistic philosophies into jewelry: a celebration of individuality, color, and courage. Every piece is a reminder that your story is worth telling, your dreams worth chasing, and your spirit worth shining in full color.
