THE CREATIVE PROCESS

WOVEN- A STUDY ON TEXTURES, TONES, LIGHT, AND SHADOWS

filed in:

The first of a 6 part series, Woven is a study on textures, tones, light, and shadows. I shot this concept at my recent workshop, The Obsessive Artist- an experience inspired by multiple different art forms. For this one specifically, textile and fabric was the source of inspiration!

When I walked into the studio and saw the sunlight peering through so beautifully, I swear I was like a kid in a candy store. Anna was a total dream in this, as always, and it was so much fun to get to dive headfirst into creativity again.

I spend a lot of my time reminiscing on the best memories, ready to create more. My hope is that my work creates that sense of nostalgia for you. The kind of feeling you wanna relive over and over again- front of the fridge, living room wall worthy.

I love madly in details. 

I love the smell of vanilla candles and the air when it’s crisp just before a fall rainstorm. I love the way that the sky turns all sorts of orange and pink when the sun’s going down. I’ll spend an hour at the store just to make sure I find you the perfect birthday card, and then I’ll probably end up buying two anyways. I’m fascinated by how the waves in the ocean are never ending and if you were to ask what inspires me, I’d say storytelling in all of its many different art forms.

Inspired by sunsets, nostalgia, the stories that make up antique stores, and most of all 

you.
