Artist Statement
Opulent Impressions is a manifestation of an image burned in my mind, from a time period I didn’t exist in, the cascading pearls dripping from chic women in the Roaring Twenties. The everyday Divas of the 1920s & 30s took control of their style in a bold and confident manner. 100 years later, in this country, we find ourselves on the brink of the unknown, everything feels uncertain, but we still have autonomy over our wardrobe.
I am inspired to help people feel like they are the life of the party. As an adult, when the occasion is right, I love the feeling of “playing dress-up”. Channeling the adornment style of a century ago gives me space to make from a place of wonderment and fascination.
This is the moment, you put on the glass pearls, and you are transported. You become your own showstopper and bring all the vibes and glamour.
