This set of four colorful Gator Joe alligator prints in the J. Banks Collection, designed by Joni Vanderslice for Paragon Art, brings bright pops of color to a space. Reflecting the firm’s grasp of resort design, many of the properties on the water, the whimsical prints are playful elements that will enliven a child’s bedroom, a coastal kitchen or any room in a home on the water or away from it. Bright shades of green and orange and summery shades of blue and yellow fit perfectly together, while Gator Joe can also be ordered separately or in one background color only.

About the Paragon Art for J. Banks Collection: In keeping with our philosophy of “resort as home and home as resort,” we envision this collection as having broad appeal across all environments. The beauty of the sum of its parts is how we’ve mixed contemporary and traditional to bring an eclectic array of art to the marketplace. Contrast is also an important aspect of this collection: white lacquered frames pair with dark wood; pictures in a large scale fit beautifully with smaller pieces; and abstracts complement landscapes through tonal consistency.

With this collection of art for Paragon, it’s easy to see how we have drawn from motifs that have inspired us on our journeys as we have traveled and worked around the world. We often bring the outdoors in through a blend of contemporary and traditional symbols reflective of elements found in nature. Whether it’s water, wood or palms, or wildlife or sea creatures, we have mined the surroundings we see and treated the inspiration we’ve found to color and texture to make each piece unique.

Joni Vanderslice, who created these compositions, is a professional interior designer and the owner of the internationally renowned design firm J. Banks Design. The collection embodies Vanderslice’s point of view ‘luxury without pretense,’ her design style incorporating coastal influences, a playful and sophisticated use of color, fun twists on classic motifs, large-scale focal art pieces and ethnic patterns.
