Sweet Love: “For a quick break from the studio, I often go to Sugar Bakeshop for a treat. The owners are so supportive of everyone in the community, and I find their aesthetic inspiring.” |

Good Sport: “I love sport shooting. When I was 12, my grandfather gave me a 20-gauge Beretta shotgun that I keep propped by the fireplace because it’s beautiful and reminds me of him.”
Sea Change: “For my art show this month at Stems, I challenged myself with a slightly more tangible concept of summer landscapes. I live for the season—why not paint it?”
Travel Essentials: “A cashmere sweater, white Levi’s, Chanel ballet flats, a straw bag, Persol sunglasses, and NARS Illuminator.”
