| Introduction | Red Umbrella Design is the creation of wife/husband team Marina Marquez & George Potts. The birth of their daughter Luna was the impetus for their environmentally freindly designs. Marina is a sculptor who works in metals, plastics, and recycled materials. Due to some of the techniques required for making her sculptures, she had to suspend the making of them during her pregnancy. In response to this, she began making T'OWLS out of her and her husband's home studio "redumbrella design" located in Lakewood, OH. Keep a look out for her future line of infant & toddler clothes made from recycled wool, organic cotton, fleece, and bamboo. George loses himself in the creation of ink drawings, collages, paintings, photography, and creative writing. |
