This piece took its direct inspiration from a room divider that I saw in an Art Deco book from the library. It had this perfect mixture of bold lines, gilding, and colors that I wanted to see how I could recreate it.

My love of the Art Deco movement is well-documented, including the fact that this work was one of several that were showcased at the Morean Arts Center in St. Petersburg, Florida, in the 2022 New Retro show.
