In this video, I'm introducing you to the artist behind one of my favorite pieces. As we talked about her work, her creative journey, and her inspiration, I began to understand why it connected with me so deeply.

This conversation touches on art in interior design, creativity, passion, and purpose.
If you've ever put a passion on hold, wondered where creativity comes from, or simply appreciate beautiful art and the stories behind it, I think you'll enjoy this conversation.
