Curiosities of the Ancient has been a full circle of sorts. This drawing began in my college days as an assignment. for one of my art classes. I do not know what drew me at the time to ancient ruins and artifacts but I must have felt a pull as many years later, looking through my portfolio I found this drawing again. I looked at it with fascination and awe. Fascination because I have been down a rabbit hole lof ancient curiosities for a few years now and have realized how much I adore learning about ancient history and cultures. Finding this drawing from my past was as if the universe sent a wink saying I knew then that this would be a part your present. And I was also in awe looking at this drawing because I have experienced ups and downs with confidence in my creative abilities and doubts in the pursuit of it. Finding this piece and reworking it has reinvigorated my creative sensibility. And I am proud to be able to present it to all of you.
Curiosities of the Ancient is done in pencil and charcoal and features artifacts and architecture such as the Hagia Sophia from Turkey, the Taj Mahal of India, Nefertiti Bust, The Lion Capital of Ashoka, the Colosseum of Rome, a Greek urn, and Cizhou vase from China.
Surface Pattern Design
What is surface pattern design and why is it important? It is important because it brings value. How does it bring value? The value is plenty and depends on the purpose, the how and the who. In the most basic terms it is a set of colors, shapes and motifs composed into patterns and illustrations created through hand drawn or digital means used on almost any surface such as textile, paper products, wallpaper, tile, packaging and the list goes on.
Surface patterns play a crucial role in interior design, as they have the power to elevate and transform spaces from ordinary to extraordinary.
