One of my favorite pastimes is to stroll through thrift and antique markets and fairs, whether in Paris or North Carolina. These events are places of pure discovery, meeting vendors from around the world who have collected and found unique pieces with their own discerning eye.
Such moments are gold mines for discovering outsider art treasures. Outsider art, which is work made by artists who create their own independent practices without classical academic training, holds a special place in my heart. I've integrated these unique pieces into my interior spaces, and they add a distinct charm while reflecting diverse cultures, providing a refreshing contrast to more mainstream and polished artworks. or pieces led by interior design trends.
