Welcome to Where Art Inspires Beauty! After a 7 year hiatus from blogging, I feel inspired to return to the blogosphere and contribute to the world of Art,  Architecture and Design.  My intention is to focus on what’s right in our world, and help celebrate those less obvious things we might overlook. Sometimes it’s as simple as the way the light reflects off a corrugated metal fence, lighting up an agave plant. Sometimes it’s a building we’ve all driven by a hundred times on our way to work, missing it’s beautiful Art Deco silhouette, or sleek Mid-Century lines. We’re all a tad bit obsessed with our devices, myself included. So I intend to keep my head up and eyes open, as I look for beauty in the mundane. It’s a subtle shift, but once you’re on that path, it becomes easier and easier to spot it.

I hope you’ll enjoy sharing this journey with me as I sift through my archive of images that I’ve been fortunate to capture on architectural tours, vacations, and quiet moments here in Los Angeles.  I also look forward to weighing in on the current building boom here in LA, as well as the burgeoning art scene. Rest assured, I’m carrying my camera with me everywhere I go, waiting for inspiration to strike.

Thank you for reading and I look forward to hearing from you!
