The Florence Cathedral in Italy, is one of my favorite structures. As I worked out the details in my sketchbook, I couldn 't help but notice how many distinct geometric shapes were at play. All day long, you can just study the patterns. MY SKETCHES

MY SKETCHES T h e S ele s t r a n d a H o u s e , d e sig n e d b y b a r k a r kit e k t e r , s e r v e d a s inspiration for this drawing. The home's location on Norway's southwestern coast makes the most of its proximity to the water. The striking angles of this triangular home definitely make it stand out from the crowd.

This drawing was motivated by the idea of a home with Spanish influence. The roof' s scalloping and walls ' pebble design are also classic touches. This house has a lovely, ornate vibe that belies its casual atmosphere. MY SKETCHES

FABRIC ART Pillowcase made of canvas with a whimsical flower design handstitched using scraps of cloth in the shape of a woman's hair. The fabric's colors make me think of the palette my mother uses when designing wedding dresses. H A I R G A R D E N

WATERCOLOR Watercolor, with its vibrant colors and fluid quality, is my preferred medium for creating landscapes and floral compositions. Since I'm just getting started with watercolors, I thought I'd put up some of my favorite paintings that motivate me to keep practicing. L I G H T H O U S E A N D B I R D

My friend's backyard beach is covered in shells, some of which I've collected over the years, and they've been combined into a work of art that has been painted with acrylic. In order to attach the petals, I cleaned them all and used hot glue to assemble them into place like a puzzle piece. P N W F L O W E R S S H E L L A R T

POLYMER CLAY Since I am a frequent visitor to Arizona, I decided to draw a house that was influenced by the state ' s beautiful desert style. Later, I shaped the home out of Polymer clay and baked it. I used to make bracelets out of miniature animal and food charms I made out of polymer clay when I was younger. A R I Z O N A H O U S E
