"Art is my first love. I have always been drawn to art."

As a child, I went on antique buying trips regularly with my mother. I began collecting 19th century sporting art and dog paintings which are still hung together in my library. My style evolved and my love of contemporary art blossomed. I was an Art History major in college and went back to school for my design degree. Art really makes your home personal. It defines the space and the mood. I tend to fall for bold color and pattern in design elements and art.
