essence art
It was several years ago, in the summer of 2012, that I designed my first wearable art dress.
One day while creating my "essence art" (a personalized painting), I imagined wearing a print of my art and was inspired to make my painting into a dress. I wanted the dress to be the full size image…

“If I were a painting, what would I be? What is the essence of Me?... ” Here is what I wrote:
It's hard to see things about ourselves… they can remain deeply hidden. We might sense they are there… But how can we “see” them?
I'm a very visual person, in how I experience the external world, but also in my internal world; my imagination or “mind’s eye”. So for me to understand something I need to “see” it...
Once upon a time in a garden, lived a beautiful rose.
She wore a red velvet dress and surrounded herself with brilliant blues and greens.
Rose was happy and had everything she could wish for...

For me, art in its truest and simplest form begins with pencil on paper. A drawing begins the outline for a greater vision...
And just as my paintings begin with a simple sketch, what I want to create in my life begins with art...

What is your essence? Your essence is the vibration of your soul. When you peel away the layers of life, you discover your True Self, beyond the roles you play in physical existence...
Read MoreYour style is the way you paint, the way you dress, the way you move... It's the way you live your life.
Style tells people who you are and what you want to be and express in the world. It gives people a sense of who you are.
Your style is expressed through art, music, fashion... It's the car you choose to drive and the way you decorate your home.
It's your life~style.
You cannot develop style by trying to be someone else. Style comes from knowing yourself... what you like, what you don't like, what inspires and ignites you. Your style comes from your essence and reflects your intrinsic nature to the outside world.
'Create your own style... let it be unique for yourself and yet identifiable for others.' ~ Anna Wintour
Just as every flower, tree, landscape or sunset is a unique expression of nature, so too are we all unique. To know and develop your style is to know and understand your Self.
What makes you come alive and be uniquely You? What is the essence of You?
What's your style?
One should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art. ~ Oscar Wilde
How do you fill your cup?
Snow White needs quiet and solitude. A tranquil stream or peaceful garden...
She can immerse herself in books, escaping to faraway lands...
You might find her sketching in nature,
Or sleeping... dreaming... under a cherry blossom tree.
Rose Red seeks energy through inspired action. She likes to move...
And dances like the wind.
Travel and adventure... it is people and places that fill her up.
'We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled.
The trick is, knowing how to tip ourselves over
and let the beautiful stuff out.' ~ Ray Bradbury
