About me, Syd.

I'm currently living and working in Nashville, TN, but sometimes I close my eyes and pretend I'm in Paris or somewhere off in the mountains.

Having loved art my whole life, I now draw, paint, and design for a living. With an enduring love of fashion and architecture, I study both natural and geometric shapes, seeking beauty in both everyday and extraordinary moments at home and abroad. My love of beauty shows itself in paintings, illustrations, my first children's book, and curated spaces for myself and clients.

My vision for Lu Maison (my portfolio - more about the "why" below) is to help people slow down and enjoy beauty in the everyday, cultivating beautiful spaces to rest, invite others in, and encourage conversations.

about Lu Maison.

Meaning: LU (short for Lucas, my last name), MAISON (French for house...the home is the hub of our lives, and so I want to invite you in and inspire you to live beautifully and intentionally.

My ever-growing philosophy: Beauty has always wanted to be admired and studied. That's why we're drawn to beautiful things--clothes, interiors, outdoors, travel destinations...but we are not meant to pass beauty by, hurryng on in our ever busier lives. Instead, we are meant to stop, ponder, converse, and absorb the richness beauty provides to our everyday lives.
