Willem de Kooning.

Art is all about emotion. I always say, once you have that special connection do not walk away! For me, it can occur with art of many varieties, from that which is super bare to something which is really colorful or textural. It’s just about the feeling and you know when you have it.

Yes, I am an avid collector. I look at everything in design as art – from the work that hangs on the walls, to sculptural furniture (chairs especially) and fashion. I store my collection in a warehouse in Downtown Los Angeles and bring pieces out when the right project comes around.

I recently discovered Peter Bonde, whose art is a masterful use of mirrored surfaces and bold brushstrokes, so I purchased a piece for a project.

Instagram, galleries and museums are all incredible places to discover new artists. I am also always attending galleries and fairs, or meeting contemporary creatives, both in my hometown of Los Angeles and whenever I travel, which provides a plethora of discovery.
