Overview

Boutique Wine Shop . The space is two floors approximately 1400sf

Goals

The front of the interior space has a ceiling height of 22' . In that area is a tasting table for the owner to sit with clients and do wine tastings . As the Designer and Artist of the project I wanted something very Dynamic , Colorful that told a story .

Process

Since I was the Artist and the Interior Designer it was challenging to conceptualize a piece of Art 10' x 10' . I had to search all my photos that I had taken for the last 30 years and create a digital message which then I remarked with Acrylic and Oil Pastels .

Additional Information

The Title of the Art is "RIPPLES " 9 pcs. 36" x 36" each
