CREATE BEAUTY.

You won’t be sorry, and the world will be a better place. And you’ll feel better, too.

BEAUTY – © LYON 2026

Someone asked me where do I get my design ideas. I just look around! Our lives are so full, so rich, so sweet, if we can just see it!

Sometimes I get bogged down with problems and confusion – I know you can relate – and I miss the subtle play of light against dark, spring green leaves gently swaying outside my window, dandylions in the grass next door, and the way the couple down the alley walk hand-in-hand, glancing at each other with adoration.

Do you do this? Notice things without really SEEing them? Maybe part of me thinks if I stop to SEE, I will get totally distracted by all this wondrous stuff around me, and not get anything done. Well, yeah, that happens.

But eventually, those SEEings get turned into art, and lucky me, I get to not only remember the first time I saw that thing, but now I get to see it over and over in the form of a painting, or a pillow, or a placemat.

Essentially, though, we can create beauty out of anything – the way you brush your teeth, how you walk, how you place the rocks around your garden – just small, thoughtful gestures, all of them making your life into a living canvas of beauty.

Do that. It will enhance your life tremendously.
