California Optimist

Lucia Eames found personal joy in assembling unlikely objects, reveling in an uplifting universe of color, shape and texture. Creativity was her state of mind, and her ingenuity was rooted in imbuing positivity in the world through her craft.

Her visual vocabulary contains a wide variety of species of flora and fauna, with a particular affection for messengers of joy. The art of Lucia Eames exudes a certain sense of humor, optimism and delight; an energetic, almost whimsical excitement is embedded in her work, and her favorite motifs—hearts, suns and flags, are all drawn with sparkle.
