Q: What materials do you use in your work?
EF: Paints, canvas, paper, etc? I mostly create large abstract pieces on canvas with acrylic and oil pastel. I also create smaller pieces on paper.
Q: From where do you draw your inspiration?
EF: Nature and travel.
Q: Playing with colors and textures excites us when designing jewelry. What excites you when painting?
EF: I love the process - how a blank canvas can turn into something so unexpected.
Q: Any business leaders or artists that inspire or influence you and your brand? EF: Dallas has so many creative small business owners that inspire me - it’s hard to name just one. I love the creative, entrepreneurial spirit of this city!
Q: What can we look forward to seeing from your brand in the near future?
EF: I also design and sew clothing, so I am hoping to expand that in the future!
