Thank goodness the dogs need a walk! Hours can go by before I realize I am not alone. I often illustrate day in and day out offset with a walk on the beach and bingeing on a Netflix or Prime video multi-episode series to wind down when projects are completed. A client request for a thank you or holiday note card, an animation GIF, an album cover, a storybook character and/or a rendering delights me!
Born in New York City, I lived a few blocks from the Met and the Guggenheim. I frequently wandered through the museum halls as a child in awe and still do the same in any museum when I travel domestically or abroad. My other pastime is walking through historic homes to understand the intimacy of a space for living - how I love a Dutch bed, a fireplace large enough to walk into and a hidden door.
For inspiration, I study the simplicity or complexity in the art or craft work of others and that spurs me on to create my illustrations. I have an appreciation for the dowels of a joint, the width of floorboards, the thread count of bedlinens, the embroidery strands delicately stitched into a silk voile, the melted wax of a candle after a dinner party and the need for a dog trot. To this day, a watercolor rendering of my paternal grandparents' 18th c. Gothic mansion Hohenwalde hangs in my art collection. It makes sense to me that such a bygone passion to render where one lives can live on as a legacy in my iPad.
Moreover, well-trained at the New York School of Interior Design and 25 years as an interior designer with projects as far flung as Beverly Hills to New York to Moscow, I am known for paying attention to design and spatial details, selecting sophisticated and quality furnishings and completing projects in a timely fashion. All this experience lends itself to my becoming fully engrossed in bespoke renderings.
I invite you to call upon me to render your next exquisitely designed and well-appointed home or hotel. Projects can be virtual for presentations or actual for documentation or gifts.
