Elaine Coyne

"Prior to creating a new design, I read art historians,
visit museums
and galleries throughout the world. Then I spend hours
in my art library. These extensive studies allow me
to assimilate the place, manner and feel the artist explored
at the time of creation. I allow those feelings to wash over
me. At that point, my creations are those of my inner being
and my assimilation.
"Every detail is critical after the flow of ideas give
the creation a sense
of calm. Our production department insures that the creativity
and minute details are reborn in every creation."
