    Interesting post since I don’t have any kids of my own, yet most days I feel like I live in a Willy Wonka Music Video. Kids seems to be everywhere, multiplying faster than I can keep up with!  Choosing the appropriate design for your child’s room can bring many questions to mind. 

    • How do you create a gender neutral room?
    • Who is providing a unique decor for children’s rooms?
    • How mature is too mature for a teenager?
    • Where can you purchase artwork for a kid’s room?

     Your child’s room should express the same level of creativity you want to encourage. I absolutely love the energy that Little Crown Interiors brings into a child’s room.   They make each room stylish and practical but with a hint of whimsy.  This shared boy’s room is an excellent example of the work done by Little Crown Interiors. It is amazing what a little pattern can do.  Use a stencil or a modello to make a custom pattern on a rug, pillow or comforter.

    Another great resource for your child’s room is Design Sponge.  Sneak Peak: Best of kid’s rooms 2010 is a wonderful collection of fun spaces for children.  I pretty much want to live in every kid’s room on this site! This room was created by Emily Henson, a prop stylist and interior decorator from Los Angeles.  It is OK to model a whole room around one item. Emily reused the birdhouses, which were originally displayed in an Anthropologie window display, as the theme for this room.  She hand painted the tree to be a home for the birdhouses and used a vintage sheet to tie the colors together.

    This little girl’s room was designed by Joy Thigpen,  talented photographer & creative director/stylist for shoots and events. If your child can’t select a color, take a note out of Joy’s book. Purchase paint samples, some glaze and create a vivid rainbow.  The rainbow is art enough for this room! For more images of Joy’s beautiful home click here.

    Two of my favorite rooms that O’Neill Studios designed are this little girls bathroom and this little boy’s bedroom. This wonderfully girlie room was accomplished with just a sharpie and pink paint. The boy’s room used color blocking, the combination of two different colors that support and compliment each other, and some wonderful free hand painting to create this fun composition.

     If you are not interested in designing  or revamping an entire room you can always opt for some custom artwork. My new LolliPOP Series can be used as decor for your walls or as a table top.  Either way it adds a bit of flare to brighten a child’s room.

    I was so excited to be asked by Akridge to paint on the roof deck of the The Homer Building for an intimate gathering of top DC brokers and respresentatives of Mitsui Fodusan American, the property’s new owner.  Akridge hosted the Sake and Sushi party to celebrate the close of cherry blossom season, each guest received the book Cherry Blossoms, which features photography by Ron Blunt.   The event featured Japanese chefs preparing food, a wonderful DJ and of course me!

     I am a native and so I’m a bit biased but DC really is a such beautiful city and to be on a roof top when it is gorgoues out AND painting, is so fun for me. The cherry blossom themed event was a perfect fit as they are one of my favorite things to paint. Naturally this was super fun for me and I LOVE that they raffled off the painting to one of the lucky guests.

    Who doesn’t LOVE LolliPops? Curtis Mayfield does!

     Perhaps I am stuck in a Willy Wonka daydream but colorful candy makes me euphorically happy.  I also happen to LOVE pop art so it was only natural to make some candy flavored art! Why not make it larger than life and put it on your Walls!

    The first LolliPOP I created was a tabletop for my wedding.  Bright, bold, and colorful, it suited my wedding to a tee.  Now that LolliPOP hangs on the bedroom wall of my very special junior bridesmaid who carried a lollipop in lieu of flowers!  LolliPOPs can be used in a variety of ways. 

     A LolliPOP offers a room an unconventional sense of playful color and texture as they are as shiny and slick as a real lollipop. You can hang them in a row or stack them down a long wall, use them as a table top or serving platter, each LolliPOP is special!

    This time last year one of my favorite and most ambitious projects opened it’s doors to the public.  Lincoln is not only an excellent restaurant for dining but a HUGE nod to American Pop Art. It also was an epic accomplishment for the O’Neill Studios Team of artists who custom made nearly the entire place!

     


    To see more in progress images of Lincoln Restaurant click here.

     

    One of my favorite features of Lincoln Restaurant are the mirrors that line the hallway. Maybe it is the political science major in me but Lincoln’s famous quotes are not only inspiring and poignant but powerful enough to be art themselves.

    To read more about the creation of the mirrors click here!  

    In honor of Lincoln Restaurant’s one year anniversary we took the same graphics and made them much more portable and affordable :)   These pieces are printed and hand embellished graphics on painted and embellished wood surface.  Perfect for the politico in your family!  Also perfect for anyone who loves a great quote to be inspired by everyday.

    The 2012 Salon Party and Salon Week were such an amazing ride .  It was wonderful to see the faces of clients from long ago and to meet new people who we hope will be supporters and patrons in the future.  Thanks to all that came by to see the artwork and meet with some of DC’s most creative minds.  It was a great opportunity to connect some of the most creative people I know with business owners and entrepreneurs alike. TOTALLY INVIGORATING AND INSPIRING!!

    If you didn’t get a chance to come by, we still have some pieces from the week available.  Until Friday April 20th a portion of the proceeds of any purchase or private commission will be donated to Research Down Syndrome in loving memory of Flynn Fry.

    Catch a glimpse of the evening and see the “think-tank team” hard at work during Salon Week.  Available artwork below.

     I had the pleasure of showing my work with Chris Cooley & Tim Sherman on Nov 18th at his Gallery in Leesburg VA.  I know most people know Chris Cooley as a Redskin but he is an artist first (to me)! Cooley was an art major at Utah State, where he played football.  He was drafted in the third round in 2004 and has been a star football player ever since.  Although football has been his  ”job” for years he has kept his passion for art alive and opened The Cooley Gallery in 2010.  I am very proud and thrilled to be a part of a wonderful addition to the Leesburg artist community!

Her images are amazing compositions and there is no photoshop involved, just natural NATURAL talent.  If you want to check out more of her work click here!
