One of the requirements to get into Parsons School of Design in New York City was to write an essay. My opening line began- " It all started at The Arkansas Arts Center." I have spent a lifetime enjoying classes, viewing exhibits, and attending events at The Arkansas Art Center. I'm so excited about the renovation! I met Studio Gang at an event tonight and viewed the design plans. It's an amazing design! I can't wait!  http://studiogang.com/project/arkansas-arts-center
A few favorites....The new Whitney Museum of American Art is a dream! I plan to spend a lot of time here. MoMa has always been my home and the Chelsea art district is one of the most influential art districts in the world. Look, I found the most famous mouse in the world there too!
  India was quite the journey...highlights included the holy city of Varanasi, the birth place of yoga Rishikesh, royal palace architecture of Rajasthan, Arga's Taj Mahal, and two of the largest cities in the world Mumbai and Delhi!
There are so many mesmerizing temples! Meiji Jingu in Tokyo and Fushimi-Ku in Kyoto are important. 
I met this tobacco producer and got to see him roll a Cuban cigar in Vinales!  
I've always been inspired by the interior design, architecture, and fine art throughout Europe. Even the pubs are older than our country! Some highlights on this trip are the Grand Place of Brussels, Belguim, and Berlin's Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. I also finally made it to Octoberfest! 
 Catching up with design colleague Catherine Kwong at The Battery in San Francisco. I am inspired by the endless collections of contemporary art Napa Valley offers. Hess Museum and Winery, Napa is a favorite!    In a sleek downtown Memphis loft, a duo of Arkansas natives—and longtime friends—collaborate to create a home where less is very much more. Sometimes Less is Actually More. This was the case in my Memphis Interior Design project.  
One of my favorite places in NYC is the High Line public park. It is built on a historic freight rail line elevated above the streets on Manhattan’s West Side. It runs from Gansevoort Street in the Meatpacking District to West 34th Street, between 10th and 12th Avenues. The High Line design is a collaboration between James Corner Field Operations, Diller Scofidio +Renfro, and Piet Oudolf. This is design at it's best.   |
