Summer

Is officially here and I am so looking forward to the sunny days ahead. Lots of memories to be made with my family.

The other day a TED talk clip popped up online that I watched during the early months of the Pandemic lockdown. Ethan Hawke speaks about giving yourself permission to be creative and I thought I would share the video, check it out here. If you have a passion try and carve out some time for yourself.

I have a selection of canvas and framed prints available through Kravet Inc. you can shop them here. I will never tire of a good stripe and “New Again” shown below is a favourite of mine. I get frequent questions from collectors about framing and this is perfect as it is already done for you.

As an artist I am always looking for the perfect composition. If could be a grafitti mural, the horizon, the possibilities are endless. I admire photographer Hayley Eichenbaums work, the composition in each of her photographs is spot on. She just posted this on Instagram and I love it!

I’ve been enjoying the show Only Murders in the Building, the docuseries Home also looks interesting. Anything about design and architecture usually keeps me from falling asleep during a show. I’m notoriuos for closing my eyes and telling my family I am still awake.

I love the architectural details in this home designed by Clare Cousins Architects. I wish they showed us a bit more of the interior in this feature.
