 Inspired by my time in Arizona and the friends and family who have helped me with my art and craft but who have passed away. Take a moment out of your day to relax and think about those departed who have helped you on your journey. And rocking has been proven to relax your body and help you sleep better.

Summer is almost here. Close your eyes and pretend for a moment you’re at your favorite beach. I designed this as a fun chair to enjoy the long days of the Northwestern summer. Inspired by what I saw at Art Basel-Miami Beach in November: Lots of color, line and faces. Whether enjoying your morning coffee at sunrise or sharing a glass of wine at sunset find your inner beach.
