Art + Design. United

As an interdisciplinary creative based I the bustling city of Kansas City, my approach to design seamlessly integrates the worlds of interior design, artistry, and photography. With a keen eye for detail and a passion for creating spaces that harmoniously blend comfort, function, and aesthetics, my interior design philosophy centers on crafting environments that elevate the human experience. Embracing the principles of comfort and functionality, I meticulously plan spaces that cater to individual needs while maintaining a sense of visual allure and practicality. Each design project is a canvas where I carefully curate elements, ensuring a cohesive interplay of color, textures and furniture that not only enhances the spaces functionality but also embodies a welcoming ambiance.

Art

In the realm of art, my creative expression takes form through various mediums. I specialize in acrylic floral paintings that vividly capture the ephemeral beauty of natures blooms. The lushness of roses and the vibrancy of sunflowers come to life on canvas, imbued with a sense of energy and depth. Additionally, my artistic repertoire includes landscapes rendered in pastels and color pencils, where I aim to evoke a sense of serenity and nostalgia through delicate strokes and harmonious color palettes. These art works serve as an extension of my design philosophy, echoing the tranquility and natural beauty I strive to incorporate into interior spaces

Photography

My passion for photography further enriches my creative repertoire, encompassing landscapes, cityscapes, and breathtaking sunsets that narrate stories of diverse environments. Additionally, my macro photography delves into the intricate details of flowers, such as sunflowers and roses, unveiling their exquisite textures and intricate patterns. Through my lens, I aim to capture notoriety, not just the visual beauty but also the emotional essence of these subjects, inviting viewers to appreciate the subtleties often overlooked in the grandeur of the world around us. This multifaceted approach to design, art and photography allows me to create holistic experiences that inspire and resonate with those who engage with my work.

Transforming any room from mere space to an immersive haven requires a keen eye for detail and a thoughtful approach to furnishing and accessorizing.
