INFLUENCES .
All of the above. Plus the minimalism of mid-century modern art.
Plus the energy and wonder of my two small children.
STYLE .
Patterns pulled from the intricate. Simplicity drawn from the complex.
Chic wrought from antique. East introduced to West.
PASSIONS .
Ink and Paper. Even in the Age of Tweet, they remain the most intimate
medium of expression.
Letterpress. It's a love affair between paper, art and a good impression.
Indian Classical Dance. I have a degree.
Photography. It's better than a purse. |
