DAYS OF HEAVEN

As a set decorator, I am on a continuous journey to discover things that both inspire and move me.  As I have shared before, the Tall Grass Prairie in Pawhuska, Oklahoma is a place I return to time and time again.  I have now been there to behold the beauty of each season and I have come to the conclusion that the winter season is my favorite there.  With fields of gold that welcome the warmth of the sun and seem to dance in the wind it is a truly spectacular sight to behold.  Perhaps it is enhanced by winter's light and austerity.  It is a place where I feel a spiritual connection, experience inner peace and I leave with a renewed spirit.
      

On this day, the visual masterpiece of  the film "Days of Heaven" is re-imagined.  So come along on this magical, cinematic and poetic journey.

BEHIND THE SCENES: BLACK OPTICAL WINTER LOOK BOOK

A few weeks ago I worked with Gary Black and a team of talented artists to create the Winter look book for Black Optical.  The concept behind the shoot was a depiction of modern renaissance.  We wanted to create an environment reminiscent of renaissance paintings and still life's with both modern and vintage eye wear.  I collected props from various sources here in Oklahoma including Dale Gillman Antiques and Bix Antiques(both have an amazing collection of curiosities on hand at their shops).
