The Sense of Discovery and Mystery Fuels Me

The Sense of Discovery and Mystery Fuels Me

“When I work, I like to think of myself as an Art Archaeologist who excavates ideas from the grounds of my imagination. I know myriad ideas are just hidden below the surface that I need to find, brush off, and polish. They could be jeweled flowers, exotic plants, peculiar animals, or photographs from trips to a faraway land. So, I keep looking in the hope of digging out something unique and rare.”

Art Studio

ATL

“My home is a constant source of inspiration to me. During the pandemic, I moved to Atlanta to create a studio. The space is filled with art and favorite objects. In the main room, I used this particular shade of blue for the walls to create an atmosphere where I’m not afraid to experiment with new art techniques. I named this color Muscari, after my favorite flower- the grape hyacinth.”
