Why Did I Call This Blog Integral ColorViews?
My philosophy is simple: color is integral to every part of our lives. Since a blog represents a viewpoint, “Integral ColorViews” — with topics spanning Art, Color + Design — felt like the perfect fit.
Color is fun, exhilarating, and endlessly interesting — but it also has a serious side. As an artist and colorist, I'm excited to share tips, book recommendations, and insights on color and design. And I'd love to hear from you too. Share your own color inspirations or suggest topics you'd like to see covered.
Some of what I'll be writing about: color tips for your home, the experience of creating art, color trends, and what really goes into our color decisions. I'll also feature profiles of other artists and artisans, plus Tips for selecting colors "DIY", commercial and exterior color and much more.
Supportive Color Design in Architecture and Interiors is the Focus
How can the right colors help you with your goals? Want to relax, socialize, become more productive? The nuances of color really do influence how we feel, function, and respond in the spaces where we live and work. It’s a combination of psychological and physical elements.
This is the focus of how I work with clients to help them create their best possible spaces.
Thoughtful color choices support how each space is meant to be used, creating mood and cohesion throughout a home's interior and exterior, and affecting goals and productivity in a workplace.
