One of the highlights of my year is attending the ColorMix event each fall presented by Sherwin-Williams. Color fascinates me. Finding the perfect palette for each each customer – combining colors that enhance a space and make eyes smile – it’s an aspect of my work that keeps projects unique and exciting. I love how our eyes are all different – not just the color, lashes and spacing – but how we all have a unique view from our own lenses. How we see color, it affects us differently.
