SLHL: How do you help homeowners come up with a bath design they are seeking?
Anne: First, I learn about the client and who is using the space. Then, I genuinely listen to them… their dream spaces, their “Pinterests,” what they envision and I ask what functionality is missing for them in the space. I try to drive each project by the client’s needs.  

There's a saying that local en plein air artist Shawn Cornell has coined as a way of explaining his craft and it goes like this, “If you see snow in the painting, it means the artist was standing in snow. If you see rain in the painting, it means the artist was getting very wet.” That's the medium of en plein air in a nutshell. It's the process of painting your subject on location in the open air, whether it's rain or shine or even snow.
