The Smithsonian: I Couldn't Be More Excited to Have My Textile Designs Featured at This Iconic Institution

9/21/2016

The Smithsonian is a world-wide known art and culture institution. I am fortunate to live near Washington D.C. and can hop on the metro and enjoy the Smithsonian museums and galleries whenever I feel like it. I am an art aficionado and often venture into town to see thee latest in the art world. 

My textile design work is inspired by what I see around me: architecture, nature, scenes captured through painting and photography. On a visit to the Smithsonian American Art Museum I snapped a photo of the ceiling at the Robert and Arlene Kogod Courtyard. I believe in looking up and the beauty of this ceiling took my breath away. I turned it into a textile design, which I then turned into an infinity scarf. A lovely architectural gem turned art for your neck! And how wonderful that this scarf is now available at the gift shop at the American Art Museum!

Not only is my Ceiling scarf on display, but you will see six additional designs featured at the shop. Take a look below at the variety of my textile work. It's my pleasure and honor to bring the beauty of our world to you in the form of infinity scarves that bring attention to any outfits of yours. Most importantly, they bring joy to your day. And that's my goal.

Joy is my favorite word and the Czech word for joy, RADOST, is the name of my company. I keep searching for all of the various meanings of this word and work to capture them in my work. And to tell the truth, when I walked into the gift shop at the museum and saw my design work on display, I learned about joy even more! I am proud and honored to be sharing it with you!
