Les Fleurs Roses
“The wonder of pink flowers.
Memory. Generations.
A flower that was once my mom’s captured in sunlight. My grandmother was a florist. Flowers bring joy.”
To give flowers in an act of love and kindness.
This design pays tribute to mothers and grandmothers. The fallen hibiscus petals captured at LVK Atelier in honor of women. The elegance of this design with cameo monograms that I created.
Un Jardin
One thought. One Pause. Inspired by the French gardens, Un Jardin is a French note, handwritten to you, an invitation to escape to nature. In the summer of 2024, I captured lavender fields of Provence as cherries grew and sunlight was endless. After years of travel to France, gardens took on new meaning. The hand-painted motifs were captured on the most magical summer day. This design celebrates the history of French gardens and their beauty.
Les Lustres Bleues
The playful large-scale of the formal Parisian chandelier is statement making. Imagination and creativity illuminate with this design. The turquoise blue and gold details literally jumped out of one of my works, Les Chaises Rouges. The intricate detail and colors bring past to present.
Graffiti Paris
Inspired by Paris metros and colorful graffiti.
Liberté. Culture. Youth. Art. J’adore.
Les Lustres “Tipsy”
Enter a formal Parisian room with a chandelier in the Louis XV style, but imagine the room sway. Is it a dance? The magic of walking into a formal room with childlike wonder. The concept came directly from my work Les Chaises Bleues. Imagine yourself in a time past to present.
Liberté
Liberté and Freedom. They mean many things. The feeling of joie de vivre, the excitement of travel. Art of living, connection XO is a love note from an artist (moi) who loves bringing joy to others. Let’s have fun!

Les Lustres Grandes
Let there be Light!
This design celebrates beauty, form, and wonder. Past to Present.
Inspired directly from my work Les Chaises Rouges, created in Paris.
Un Portrait Demi D’art
History is beautiful, and it defines us! The split portrait represents past present future. The childlike star inspired by the painting. Connections of time and culture. Cameos hold your monogram framed like old portraits reimagined for you!
Inspiration from a small Parisian museum. I wandered lost but found with the red walls and ornate paintings of the past. Surrounded by people whose faces I didn’t know but who felt familiar. I found parts of me in them. A broken frame complete.
Un Fleur En Bleu
Celebrating serendipity bold energy the flower is transformed through watercolor. We change. We transform and grow. Intersecting lines represent this. The love of Paris! The addition of design to this year’s show brings past to present.
LVK Liberté The Original
Liberté. Expression. Freedom to be oneself. My first creation with Desmalter. A child draws on a wall. The essence of being! Inspired by my original work in Paris Métros.
