While I’m still waiting to be handed the keys, I wanted to share the main reason I fell in love with this particular house. Yes, there were plenty of other draws—great space for a studio and a beautiful garden—but what truly sealed it for me was the hand-painted mural on the wall between the dining room and kitchen.

What stays, what goes, and what comes with me. What to do? What to do?

Branching out into new ideas—no matter what your art form may be—is something I deeply believe in. Not only is it fun, but I’ve found it expands my creative thinking by leaps and bounds.

Combining materials makes for interesting results.
