Those Impatient Eager Blooms

Sometimes it feels like another world where we live, where rules are broken daily and everyone goes about life like children whose parents are away.  Today, spring is early and eager young blooms explode disobediently into the world, parading fancy new skirts in the latest fashionable shade. Bright sweet oranges leap from the trees to frolic on glowing green grass, …

California Snowboarding

No it’s not an oxymoron! It’s surfboards in Malibu, skateboards in the Valley and snowboards in the mountains!  And real snow, 3 feet deep from the recent rainfall and gorgeous to boot. An hour and a half north of LA, it’s a haven for snow sport enthusiasts in Southern California where everybody brings their own board, binders and boots and …

Materiality

I treasure the ability, in the field of architecture, to run my fingers over three dimensionality-the splintering of wooden edges, the warm, earthy ridges of plaster, the smooth cold of marble. There is no such tactile easiness in the world of the printed matter, and thus, a drumming need to reconcile a fundamentally two-dimensional entity such as a drawing, with …

It’s raining, it’s raining

It’s been raining all week . After 8 months straight of sunny, perfect Southern California weather, the gray, moody days are a welcomed reprieve. They remind me of growing up in the tropics where the monsoon season kept perfect time, was never tardy and shook up your daily activities for weeks to come. It brought along loud clapping thunder, searing …

Prologue: The Inspired Project

Boudoir for A Girlhood Passed

One of my favorite pastimes these days, is to recall my childhood fancies and attempt to bring them into some form of renewed, adult fascination while pondering on how, if any, age has changed my views, thoughts and aesthetics.

Snowy Sketches

My very first white Canadian Christmas, ever.  Every day was dusted clean, a fresh snowy start. The most fascinating thing was how the colors of each day differed from the day before. Some days it would be all gray and olive greens, and others high-key pinks and blues.  Here’s series of watercolor sketches to remember them by:

Turn: God is in the Details

Anyone who is wise enough to have lived and achieved to old age would declare, quite vehemently, that resolutions cannot be met if one’s goals are not specific enough. To avoid the pie-in-the-sky mind that (often) threatens to hang over my idealism, I have outlined the below:
