lobster {american}

I’ve been working with this lovely lobster for weeks now. Incorporating it into one of my pieces. I take 18th and 19th century illustrations and give them new life through a process called papier collé.

Inspiration …

pairing art and spaces

We love the clean lines of this stairwell. The pop of blue makes us want to tear all the carpeting off of our steps and start painting! {apartment therapy}

Pairing this artwork with the blue stairwell space would be ideal. It screams beach house to us.

***************************************************************************

Another example of a great staircase. So clever how the center of the stairs is “not” painted. {apartment therapy}

Pairing this romantic, french inspired work would tone down the bright whites of this room while enhancing the wood elements throughout. Ooh la la.

leopard crazed

I’ve been crazy about leopard for decades.

Animal prints seem to make their way into my artwork as well as in my home, check out these fun items for your home decor …

This chair is for all you “cougars” out there. {Kartell of Italy.}

Washing my hands in this sassy sink would be a pleasure every day. {Vitruvit.}

back on the grid

I’m back from my glorious trip to Prince Edward Island, Canada.

It was heavenly not to be hooked up to a computer, cell phone, or television.

Incredibly refreshing.
