I always love seeing artist studios because it's always fascinating to me to see an artist's unique and personal environment and influences...  Every artist studio has its own unique creative "energy"!   You can learn so much from seeing an artist's unique and personal studio.  Here, for example, you can see objects that inspire me. There are playful objects such as a teddy bear dressed as Napolean, and art books.  You can also see a Roman helmet that I brought back from one of my many trips to Rome.  Again and again, the "Red, White & Blue" is symbolic to my life as an American in Paris artist.   Since we are discussing the influence of France and Paris on my work in my studio,I thought I'd go ahead and share this "intimate" snapshot from my own studio here in America.
