ART BOOKS

 ART BOOKS

"A film about about self-expression and self-publishing. An exploration of purpose, determination and the creative psyche."

BOOK STAND, my favorite art book stand, needs a little help (and love) for an avant-garde documentary that they are shooting. It will capture artists and creatives thoughts on processes, work and books as the film travels around the world to interview and film. I already want to see this, don't you? Let's make it happen!

Please check out their little film about it here and give a little shout out about it to your friends and family too!

Dream jobs come and flow and I have to say, I keep getting asked to create pieces that push me so far out of my orbit that the process itself of creation becomes very much a part of my piece. The requests usually comes from my dear friend/director/visionaire/artist and insanely talented Claire Cottrell. Her visions for her very specific worlds are always so otherworldly yet familiar. Her precise parameters are discussed, examined, explored and finally defined and it is usually during this moment in an otherwise calm meeting that she shakes me up with so much inspiration until I'm ready to explode and then she sets me free and I create. It just flows. I soar. Usually in the last wee moments before a piece is due.

My infinite thanks and gratitude to you Claire Cottrell for always believing in me and asking me for the moon and the stars. It is because of you that these pieces are birthed and seen. xxxx

* I want Lauren, Elijah, Blake and Leo to know how much they too contribute to not only the day-of shoot but to my every day creations. You keep me inspired.

(I never shared this short with you! It was a wonderful shoot with my friends Claire and Carly. Funny enough, this short inspired our Summer Fête and an extensive collaboration between Claire, Lauren and myself. I consider this to be some of my most inspired work in terms of floral artistry).
