Happy Client with Empty Belly print

A happy client sent me this photo of her newly reno'd kitchen with my framed Empty Belly print.
Isn't her kitchen great?
I love to see these in situ shots - so don't hesitate to send along your own!
ps. You can buy Empty Belly in my shop here.

New Bouquet drawing inspired by Coriander Girl

I am longing for Spring so decided to draw some flowers today.

For inspiration I turned to a photo of a gorgeous rustic bouquet created

by local florist Alison Westlake of Coriander Girl.

Here is the gorgeous photo by Trish Papadakos that inspired my drawing. 

As you can see I recreated a lot of the flowers + leaves in the photo but changed the container.

One Kings Lane Event #2

Some of my images are available as framed giclee prints in a new event on One Kings Lane called "Petite Chic". The White Japanese Tea pot below is one of the images available.

String Theory

Last Thursday I met Meghan Price one of the designers behind String Theory.
I discovered this company this past November at The One of a Kind show where they stood out like a breath of fresh - modern looking - air! I really love their scarves and shawls - so graphic, fresh, and smart looking. Inspirational.

Thomas O'Brien + AERO

The book (which matches very well with my Kuba cloth I think!)

I'm reading this book right now and loving it.
Aero is both a studio and a shop founded by Thomas O'Brien and Bill Sofield (who went on to design the Soho Grand) It's been located in SOHO in various locations since 1992.

I just adore Thomas O Brien's interior design sense.
I love his warm palette, mix of vintage + modern - his use of elegant things in a very relaxed, non formal way and his layering.

His bedroom! So layered and lived in.

The aesthetic of Aero is a titch refined for my taste so for me the best photos in the book are intimate pics of the various apts Thomas has lived in over the years - such as his bedroom above.

Very juicy. Highly recommended.

The news of Phillip Seymour Hoffman's death in New York at age 46 marks an instant diminishment of American movies. He was that good, that essential, and that irrreplacable...

It is only with an entirely warranted sense of loss that we can imagine American movies without him.
