Art Interrupted
I’ve been asked a few times now why I would add writing to my already overflowing plate. There’s a few different answers I’ve given but it kind of just boils down to…. Because I can. Between my full time job in intellectual property, rebuilding my digital footprint and small business 6 years after walking away,…
My Visual Calling Card
Artists typically have a signature. It’s not necessarily an actual signature but more of a thing that’s identifiable to everyone else. Think Van Goghs swirling brush strokes or Yayoi Kusama’s signature polka dots. Kusama is the reason I got into the creative world and started playing with bold colors. Her art was the first thing I saw that invoked a feeling. I knew immediately I needed to play with colors, and I knew immediately I needed to incorporate her in my home. I’ve followed…
Street Art: The Art Of Public Emotion
Street art has always been louder than paint. It’s a pulse, a protest, a love letter, a confession, or even a warning.

Color Crush Series: Imperial Yellow
Some colors whisper. Some colors scream. Some colors walk into a room wearing a crown, a five clawed dragon, and 3000 years of symbolism. They don’t need to speak. The color speaks for itself. Yellow may be one of the oldest colors, but it still manages to stay feeling fresh, modern, and wildly wearable in…
Ceramics: The Art Form That Never Dies
I’m in my expression phase and obsessed with finding different forms of expressions in the art world. While looking for a new medium to try, one of the many ones I’ve come across is ceramics. Before I start anything new, I need to know the history of it and decided I needed to share a…
Wandering Back Into Watercolor
Watercolor has such a creative DNA. It’s fluid, emotional, layered, honest, and a little bit chaotic in the most magical way. Watercolor is one of the oldest artistic languages humans have ever spoken. Long before oil paints, digital tablets, or even paper existed, artists were grinding earth pigments down and mixing them with water to…
