Niki's Colors


Hey everyone, I’m Orna’s assistant, Alexandra. I wanted to share with you all an amazing artist, Niki de Saint Phalle (1930-2002), who has been a huge influence on me. She worked in many forms, but one of the most amazing things she made was her home in Tuscany.





She called it the Tarot Garden, and it took 20 years before she finally completed it. I think it's important for an artist to make their home an inspiring place for them to live and work in, and a reflection of their creative spirit. Her colors were so vibrant and beautiful, Orna helped me pick out some threads and beads inspired by her work.
