If Josie Juantorena had a shop of her own, you can bet that everything in it would be absolutely covered in spots a la cheetah, leopard and giraffe. Josie has created entire outfits using this motif, including a painted ” leopard skin” pillbox hat. She also draws and paints imagery of the animals themselves, and those of the jungle variety live side by side with squirrels and deer, drive trains and cars and are always, always smiling. Her whimsical world evokes the work of Marc Chagall, and any mention of French culture will set Josie off into tales of her early life in the Basque countryside.
