Iris Apfel Print

I have had a life long obsession with art and design and it's many applications. My art focuses on unique portraiture and abstract dreamscapes. It is inspired by my past as a window dresser and interior designer of both fashion and interiors. I find inspiration in many things: The elegance and sometimes silliness of vintage advertising, glamorous and edgy fashion illustration, the depth of emotion that portrait photography of people and animals provides, unique and colorful interior spaces, the intrigue of iconic figures, and the exotic colors found in nature. I work in a combination of watercolor, colored pencil, charcoal, acrylic, pastel, and conte' crayon; using digital enhancement to achieve my desired effect.
