Fashion Designer, Textile Artist, and Illustrator
"I always love to have my desk positioned looking out a window; the movement and changes in the light refresh and inspire me. This piece is an Indonesian carved console that I discovered in a thrift shop and painted almond when I grew tired of the cocoa surface. My desk at home is a place for my laptop as well as an assortment of brushes, inks and sketch pads. It's most often a rainbow of inspirational images, fabric swatches, spiritual texts, coffee table books and comforting, precious objects — a healing aloe plant, a gold-dipped sea anemone, a carved wooden angelic figure bought for me by a mentor, a hand-painted Mexican box. Sacred, colorful and motivating."
