Inspiration



I have always admired the work of Leon Bakst(1866-1924), a Russian painter, costumer, and set designer. Probably most famous for his work with Ballets Russes on the set and costume design for Scherherezade, I would really like to be able to become good enough to produce some of his patterns in my work.

For examples see:
