When I began building this website, I had originally intended to showcase and sell solely my artwork. But in the process of planning and conceptualizing, I decided that I also wanted to keep the website open to other creative ideas, projects, merchandise, etc. Basically, I wanted it to ‘contain multitudes’. I came across the word ‘recherché’ while looking for inspiration, and the many different (English) interpretations of the word really resonated with me. Combined, the words and definitions resonated with my vision and approach to everything that I do, create, make, and share.
