FIGURATIVELY SPEAKING

Art is my first love, my earliest memory and my passion. Of all the mediums - drawing is the first breath, the most eloquent gesture, the primary source for all that follows. As Andrew Wyeth said...

"I love the quality of the pencil. It helps me get to the core of a thing, and it doesn't compete with painting. With pencil I can study things in detail - it gives me architectural structure - but the color stays like a dream in the back of my mind until I come to paint."

A NAP WOULD BE NICE...

I love a good afternoon nap on a rainy day or especially a lazy sunday afternoon. Unfortunately those days are few and far between. The daybed doubles as a couch by day and a bed by night, always suceeding in doing what I like best - creating a space that is multi-functional - therein study by day, guest room by night...sweet dreams!

ISN'T IT IRONIC?

Iron balusters on a stair constantly pose a quandary. Specifically as it pertains to code issues. I long for the good old days when they could be spaced however one deemed appropriate from a design stand point. We have been known to put in dummies to get past a pesky inspector, then knock the middle bit out after the certificate of occupancy has been issued. Shhh....don't tell anyone! It becomes, however, a challenge to come up with a design that is both beautiful and legal. If you have solutions, I'd love to hear about it!
