I was given the honor of creating 7 custom art pieces for the Oceania Cruises new Vista ship. I took inspiration from the refined interiors with calm color palettes. My approach was to use sculptural shapes that felt architectural and playful at the same time. Layered with intricate details, this ‘shape building’ process appealed to my engineering side. The layers of texture engaged my right brain! This creative process involved controlled structure, play and experimenting with color combinations.

I was recently asked how I come up with ideas. I always start with ‘information gathering’ so I know the client goals and customer personality. My appreciation for interior design helps me ‘see’ a style that accurately combines my creative solutions to be specific for each unique project.
