i am absolutely honored to have my work among the baker | mcguire resort collection. they are fully invested in CRAFTMANSHIP or shall we say craftspersonship. since baker | mcguire began their company in 1890 [ mcguire established in 1948 ] every collection is meticulously selected crafted + formed. in my opinion: while baker's focus is more on edgy modern designs, mcguire focuses on naturally luxurious fine furniture, their style being coastal cali, but catering more towards timeless design | product. they both have this huge following of talented designers who are looking for product that meets their impeccable standards.
baker | mcguire seattle is hosting an event for CEU Credits TH SEPT 19 @ 11AM
they will be discussing FURNITURE FASHION: how design attributes [beyond wood + upholstery] using natural sources are being used + taken care of
these details are important to me as my sustainable art product line will be on view among these special lux home furnishings. everytime i walk into the baker | mcguire showroom I see a new detail that i didn't notice before.
every project is vastly different, even if the style is the same. my ever popular gold horizon seem to be a theme. my framer creates + delivers the custom frame built meticulously to scale. i prep canvas, start music, + begin. the horizon is a one shot deal. no mistakes can be made. alas everytime i hold my breathe and do it. they say that your craft gets perfected the more you do it. like a tennis player learning to serve. it really holds true. even though I do not paint every day anymore. its in my brain. i often catch myself imagining how i want to paint + how I would like to try the mediums in a different way. its always white and ends up being quite timeless. just like the gold horizons. each are so similiar but different in their imperfections only i can see. every placement is different + my favorite part of the project is seeing it in situ [a Latin phrase that translates literally to "on site" or "in position]. so it is: in situ, placed perfectly in a new build among other carefully curated spaces. hopefully it will be admired here for an established amount of time. that is what an artists dreams of right?
