Tom Knechtel was one of my professors at Art Center and one of my biggest fans and supporters. I love his work and will be forever grateful for his input on my own.

Another artist who came to show her work at Art Center, I then got a private crit from her and you can see how she has influenced my work.

I happened upon Megans Web site a few years ago and have been following her ever since. You can see the iimmediate comparison between our work.

Beatice Milhazes is a Brazilian artist whose work I absolutly love and would have to say she has been my biggest influence. I never tire of looking at her work

Just someone I came across on line. Really nice paintings and collages.

Nathan is a friend of mine who I went to Art Center with. Our styles are very different but I've always found his work interesting and provocative. Its a bit dark and mysterious.

What can I say, her work is absolutly amazing. I love every single piece and its all made of paper. My mom bought one one of her necklaces in Paris a few years ago so I researched her to find out more.

This is an Italian jewlery artist whose work I purchased at the artisans fair in Florence last year.

Cool place in Rome. I still haven't had a chance to check it out, but I love the concept and hope to make it to Rome soon.

This is a really great little cafe right around the corner from my apartment. Its a nice place to sit and chat and was the location of our "stitch n, bitch" girls evenings last winter.

This is a very cool little cafe hidden away in Borgo San Frediano. Its a book shop and bar with very cool art and live music. Perfect for a cloudy afternoon.

My favorite store ever. What else can I say, I love it.

wonderful site for organic baby and baby mama goods, hosted by my darling friend Joslyn and her adorable little daughter (Josy's doesn't make any decisions without consulting her first!) You can find everything from organic clothes to eco friendly toys

Some of the most delicious meals I've eaten come from my fantastic and one of my best friends, Organic ingredients grown in her own garden are used in the recipes not to mention the gorgeous presentation

The same friend is also a web designer, very talented and has made some beautiful sites.
