Years of painting inspiring interiors combined with my love of art history & education culminated in my first illustrated book!
I am fascinated by how people choose to live- what objects they surround themselves with and in turn, how those things influence their lives and behavior. As a mother of four, I experience every day how the home environment affects our lives. For seventeen iconic artists, their homes played dynamic and often unexamined roles in their creative process. Their homes served as low-stakes places of experimentation, giving them space, outside of their art, where they could follow their own curiosities.
