Our eyes are the windows through which we experience the world... our own unique view of everything around us. With acute awareness of how color can dramatically affect one's mood, inner feelings and emotions, artists and interior designers use color as a powerful means of communication. Personal perceptions about color are often rooted in one's own experience or cultural environment, yielding a response of your surroundings. Color can cause physiological reactions by raising blood pressure, triggering melancholy or even increasing metabolism. 

So, what is color?

Isaac Newton discovered in 1666 as pure white light passed through a prism, it separated into all of the visible colors. Each color is made up of a single wavelength and cannot be separated any further. We call these primary colors red, yellow and blue. Through continued experiments, it was learned this light could be combined to form other colors - orange of red and yellow; green of yellow and blue; purple of blue and red. The seemingly unlimited array of colors in all shades and hues can thus be conceived and created... This is an artist's most prized tool.

Even in ancient cultures of Egypt and China, chromotherapy was practiced. Through this use of colors to heal, it is sometimes referred to as light therapy or colorology and is still used today as a holistic or alternative treatment...

Regardless of your intimate relationship with color, the reality is it saturates your world. It is all around you, permeating your mind through your body, into the depths of your soul. Surrender yourself and become immersed in this glorious day...

Color me beautiful... xoxo-Sonya
