I would love for my art to not just be something people collected but something that was generative. What I mean by that is it grew in them a spark to carry on beauty, goodness and truth.

I would love to be remembered as a window into a deeper world (for me, the spiritual world). New Nest Thermostat Pretty. For the first time ever, Nest has redesigned its iconic smart thermostat.
