"My fascination with color has been life-long. When I was a child, someone gifted me with a large prism and it was one of my favorite objects. I loved having the prism up to my eye and looking at the vivid striations of color. One of the most life-changing college courses I had the opportunity to take was on color theory. The professor stated that by the end of the class we would be able to match any color with the 3 primary colors, black and white. What an alchemical awakening as I explored the world of color magic!"
