DIVA PYARI

I’d designed collections from California to Italy and back again— from jewelry to clothing & textiles, so when I created my first set of hand-printed gift cards and wedding invitations it made perfect sense to call it LINEA CARTA (Italian for 'Paper Line' or 'Paper Collection').

Since then LINEA CARTA has continued to grow & evolve, at one time offering a wide eco-lux selection of home goods (like sustainable hand-printed linens/aprons/quilts) selling to dozens of beautiful boutiques worldwide. I also license my artwork, partnering with small and large companies, like my ongoing collaborations with Anthropologie where you'll find exclusive LINEA CARTA gifts (watch for our upcoming Travel Diary ceramics!). And bespoke products like my ever-popular Wishing Bracelets - which recently made the New York Times 2025 Holiday Gift Guide !

Known for my hand-lettering and illustration I’ve taught hundreds of workshops on Modern Calligraphy, Brush Lettering, and Sketching & Watercolors— based on my own style but designed to embolden the artist in each of you :)  After teaching for about 15 years in-person with Handcraft Studio School, these past few years I’ve brought my classes online, to corporate team building workshops, and around the world on retreat. These sessions are both meditative and joyful, deepening our practice and making space for play, beauty, and inspiration.

In addition to Classes & Workshops, I’ve been bringing groups abroad on Slow Art Retreats since 2016 (it’s our 10 year anniversary!!), carefully curated retreats in truly magical places. Slow Art combines slow living with travel (beautiful meals, swims in the sea, historic villas) and sketchbooking with watercolors (absolute beginners welcome!). These retreats sell out fast, for first pick be sure to sign up for our Slow Art Club and follow LINEA CARTA on Instagram.

This ABOUT section wouldn't be complete without mentioning my number 1 (and 2) inspiration: My lovey dogs Henry & Nico, in my life the past 20 years, in my heart forevermore. ♥︎

It will be more beautiful than you could ever imagine.    - Susan O'Malley
