I like modern decor and furnishing like you can get at IKEA. If I could afford it, I'd shop at Design Within Reach or Anthropologie.

I'm an artist so I like to go to museums and galleries. I tend to stick with the more contemporary sections of the museum, though. My favorite artists are Robert Rauschenberg, Mark Rothko, Jasper Johns, Barbara Kruger, Jenny Holzer, Jennifer Bartlett, Christian Marclay, Andy Goldsworthy.

I like to travel and I've been to New York City, Rome, London, and Aruba.

I like kitschy travel souvenirs.

I like crafty things with a modern, quirky sensibility, like Sublime Stitching, Lanna Jansdotter, Lena Corwin, Amy Butler, and Heather Bailey.
