    The Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, Italy

    “The modern art museum on the Grand Canal is one of my favorite museums in the world. It is impeccably curated, and you can’t beat the location. There was an abstract Gio Ponti drawing in an exhibit I saw years ago that really captured my attention and inspired my Graffito pattern.”

    Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, France

    “I carve out an afternoon to get lost in this museum every visit to Paris. It never disappoints. The shows and the way they are curated are truly one of a kind: I caught a trompe l’oeil exhibit there a few years back that remains one of my all-time favorite experiences. There was a striking pair of black-and-white boots from the ’60s in the museum’s collectsion that informed the black-and-white pattern in my design work.”

    Sunnylands in Rancho Mirage, California

    “This historic Palm Springs estate has remarkable landscaping and architecture. The mixology and repetition in the more than nine acres of sweeping and carefully curated gardens designed by landscape architect James Burnett are so breathtaking. The flowers are like architectural elements because they are sculptural, sturdy, and geometric.”

    Blue Mosque in Istanbul, Turkey

    “I vacationed in Turkey and Greece with my husband and two boys recently. The vibrant color and layered textures of the city were wildly inspiring. The tile work at this mosque is spectacular. Educating my sons and exploring different cultures as a family is one of my greatest joys as a mother. The hand-painted brushstrokes of the beautiful blue tiles evoked hand-quality texture and coloring of my Chroma wall-covering design.”

    San Cataldo Cemetery, Modena, Italy

    “I love this piece of architecture by Aldo Rossi. He is one of my favorite architects. His exquisite geometric proportions demonstrate how you can do so much with so little. The grid work of the building is a perfect synergy of form and function.”
