I was standing in my kitchen talking to my husband when he described my creative style as "stark, with a little bit of whimsy to it." I thought that was a perfect way to sum up my work, but it also described my personality.

 

“Stark” is analytical, critical, with a love for technical knowledge and skills. “Whimsy” is all things playful and fanciful. I've always been a bit of both, and it's often left me feeling a little out of place.

 

If you sometimes feel like a contradiction, then maybe Stark & Whimsy is you, too.​
