Inspired by Art: Finding Beauty, Connection & Community
At SKC Designs, inspiration is everywhere—but there’s something uniquely powerful about stepping away from the day-to-day and immersing yourself in the world of art. On a recent visit to the Rochester Art Center, I was reminded just how essential creativity, beauty, and community are—not only in life but in the spaces we call home.

Art has the remarkable ability to move us, to make us pause, and to reconnect us with something deeper. Whether through sculpture, painting, or immersive installation, art sparks imagination. It invites us to see the world—and our surroundings—with fresh eyes. As a designer, these moments of inspiration fuel my work, allowing me to create homes that reflect not just style, but soul.
The Rochester Art Center offers more than just exhibitions. It’s a place where local and national artists come together, where creativity is nurtured through classes, workshops, and volunteer opportunities. It’s a cornerstone of our community—a reminder that supporting the arts means supporting connection, culture, and shared experience.
Design, much like art, is deeply personal. It’s not about following trends—it’s about creating spaces that tell a story, that reflect the people who live there. When I pull inspiration from the world around me—whether from nature, travel, or a striking work of art—I translate those moments into interiors that feel thoughtful, authentic, and timeless.
I believe that good design, like good art, should evoke emotion. It should make you feel something every time you step into a room.
As we move into this season of new beginnings and fresh perceptives, I encourage you to explore the creativity in your own community. Visit a gallery. Take a class. Support a local artist. Inspiration is closer than you think—and sometimes, all it takes is a single spark to reimagine what’s possible.
If you’d like to explore how meaningful design can transform your home, I invite you to connect with me through a complimentary Discovery Call. Let’s create something beautiful together.
