Original and Practical Holiday Gifts
Home AccentsCommentTake for example a coffee/tea mug. If the person you are shopping for is a coffee or tea lover, they have their favorite cup. I have my favorite cup but I like to switch up. The art mugs that I am offering are a universal and original gift due to the image. You won't find them in a big chain home goods store. So it becomes a bit of an unique gift that will make your loved ones happy. You can gift a mug to anybody who is allowed to drink water.

Others may needs a little bit of help. For those who want to know how to wear this nautical scarf, I put together 3 different summer outfit ideas.

Wall Art, Art PrintsCommentDo you spend most of your time in the living room? Do you go there to relax, read a good book, or drink a grass of wine sitting on your favorite chair? Do you receive your guests in the living room where you catch up with them over a cocktail?

How to Decorate a Baby Room Like a Pro
Wall Art, Art PrintsCommentDecorating a baby room is no doubt harder than decorating any other room. You are trying to create a living space which is warm, cosy, and pleasant for a little human who hasn't even been born yet. You are creating a space where you and your baby will spend most of your time for the next 3 months, at least. If you are a first time mom, there are lot of unknowns and decisions you need to make about purchases big and small. Depending on your budget, those decisions may be even harder. So where do you start?
Wall Art for Bathroom
Art Prints, Wall ArtThe bathroom is probably the last room you’d consider to add art to, or perhaps you’ve been thinking about it already. When it comes to a bathroom’s functionality and purpose, it is somewhat similar to that of a bedroom—to help one relax, refresh, and replenish their energy while staying cozy. You probably have a nice soap selection, cosmetics, shampoos, and some fluffy towels. Why not go a step further and make your bathroom even more relaxing every time you step in to take a bath, shower, or do your morning toilette, by adding some art prints to it. I’ve recently added some art prints to my master bathroom because I was tired of staring at the bare walls, and I must say every time I look at those, they bring up memories about places and beaches I’ve been to. I have grouped the art prints that I picked into several categories.
Curated Wall Art for Kitchens
Art PrintsWhat is the one place that people always gather around when you have a house party? When my husband and I lived in a remodeled Victorian, high ceiling apartment in San Francisco, it was always the kitchen half-isle. We loved to have house parties and no matter the number of people who came, they always gathered in the small kitchen. Why—it was cozy and homey because we didn’t just serve plenty of drinks, we served food too!
The kitchen is without a doubt the “heart” of a home, for most homes, and especially if you like to cook. Regardless of your kitchen’s style—traditional or contemporary, you’d want to make it more inviting. Wall art for the kitchen are very inexpensive way to do that, and if you get tired of them you can switch them.
How to Choose Art Prints for Bedroom
Art Prints22 Art Print Picks for Bedroom
Tiny bedrooms, big bedrooms, they come in all sizes but no matter the size if you like sleeping, it is your sanctuary. If you want to make your bedroom more inviting and relaxing, consider art prints for your bedroom walls.
What style is your bedroom—contemporary, traditional, modern, coastal, romantic, or eclectic? Depending on your style, some are more forgiving and you can get away with mixing and matching art prints for your bedroom. However, for the more traditional bedroom type, not every kind of art print would work. If you are looking for art prints for your bedroom, consider the following—size, frame, subject matter, and color. A general rule regarding color is this—look at your bedroom’s predominant colors and pick art prints in the same or similar colors.
How to be a Mom and an Artist
Artist MomIt’s funny how sometimes we feel so determined to do something, and then life just happens. That’s how I found myself trying to be a mom and an artist. Before I had help but now so much as mom got sick. And of course, the most essential things in life always take priority and everything else is put to the back burner. Except, I am really trying to figure out how to carve time to express myself as an artist. It just hasn’t been so easy.
How to make sure my daughter is always happy and entertained now that she’s on summer vacation? How to make sure that my house is always clean and in full order (ahah)? How to make sure that there is still some “me” time? How to make sure that I exercise that creative muscle, which the more you do, the more it rewards you? Can I have it all?
Not easy but also not impossible. I’ve figured if I used small increments of time during the week, I can steal some creative time. That way, at least I would be doing something about my art. Write a blog post, or do some sketching. And maybe even do some actual work on my iPad. Who knows!
The Creative Process of Designing My New Scarf Collection "Golden Brown Red"
Creation Process“Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and lead a trail.” This quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson stayed with me while I was designing my fall/holiday collection. I took a business class some months ago and from painting one of a kind scarves, I decided to change my tactic and technique and come up with a design just as beautiful, but design that can be reproduced quickly and it doesn’t take me days to complete.
But how do I do that? Well, I experimented lots and lots. I took an old method, transformed it, and added my own technique to it. In the end, I came up with a brand new technique—my own. There were many trials and errors until it could be perfected. In a way, I think everything I’ve done until now has lead me to this point.
