View the entire Collection on Google Picasa   Celebrate Simplicity Collection on Etsy   

>> My collection aims to celebrate simplicity to its core and expose raw beauty true to its form. This is what I seek when I draw.

Here I am: Moving forward with a renewed sense of self. Exploring worldwide. I'm in love with art and creativity again.
It's what I see around me. What I find randomly inspiring. What I search for. Everywhere.

My parents got me this lovely piece from Japan… Made from the same expensive material as kimono… However, I do think Hello Kitty is flipping me off!

Amazing time today at the Sultanhamet district of Istanbul… The architecture and art is absolutely moving in so many ways. It’s overwhelming and inspiring. I have never learned so much about the middle east ever and it has been so interesting and eye opening.
