Abstract on canvas

"White collar conservative flashin' down the street
Pointin' their plastic finger at me, ha!
They're hopin soon my kind will drop and die but uh
I'm gonna wave my freak flag high, high! Oww!"
- If Six Was Nine, Jimi Hendrix

"Some rooms make an immediate impression. But often it's the small moment, the subtle gesture that lingers in the mind.Whether they're intimate or grand, truly stylish spaces have an appeal that goes beyond the obvious. They tell a story that keeps us enthralled, detail by detail, like the personal diary of a life well lived." -Elle Decor

"For without the private world of retreat man becomes virtually an unbalanced creature."

-Eleanor McMillen Brown, Creating a Beautiful Home by Alexandra Stoddard

"Design must seduce, shape, and perhaps more importantly, evoke an emotional response" -April Greiman

"I have no recipe for how to combine things. But you must be sincere, and if you are, strangely, it will succeed." -Andree Putnam, Interior Designer

"Design should do the same thing in everyday life that art does when encountered: amaze us, scare us or delight us, but certainly open us to new worlds within our daily existence" -Aaron Betsky

“An interior is the natural projection of the soul.” - CoCo Chanel

Staying true to yourself is the best interior design lesson

"[on interior design] I think you have to have a real sense of scale and proportion. You have to have a real feeling for it. I think you are just born with it or you are not. No matter how much training you get, you can't learn that.
