MERCEDEZ REX
Mercedez Rex is a Texas based artist and surface designer whose work bridges the worlds of fine art and fashion. With a background in photography and textile design, she brings a trained sensitivity to pattern, rhythm, and timing—qualities she now channels into the centuries-old practice of water marbling. Much like capturing a decisive moment behind the lens, each print she creates is a fleeting expression of color in motion, stilled on silk, leather, or paper.
In 2016, she launched her namesake line of hand-marbled accessories and home goods, gaining recognition for her bold use of pattern and intuitive process. Her work has since expanded to include limited-edition collaborations with fashion and interiors brands, as well as custom commissions for residential and commercial spaces.
Her most recent wallpaper collection pushes marbling into new territory—where spontaneous gestures meet manipulated scale, transforming ephemeral prints into immersive, tactile environments. Whether magnified to reveal delicate intricacies or scaled down to create rhythmic fields of pattern, her work invites a sense of wonder through its layered embrace of chance and control.
