Nursery Art

Just came across this great idea for art in the nursery from designer Windsor Smith. I'll have to keep my eyes open for vintage letters at the flea market this weekend.

Origins of a Name

Illuma is the name of our little company. Nick's part is Illuma Photography and I represent Illuma Design. We've just begun and we are growing. Some day we'll have a website I'll link to here. But, for now, be satisfied with the idea that illuma (in our minds, if not the dictionary) stems from the word illuminate which is defined as follows:

1 il·lu·mi·nate
Pronunciation: \i-ˈlü-mə-nət\
Function: adjective
Date: 15th century
1 archaic : brightened with light
2 archaic : intellectually or spiritually enlighten

Our view on the arts is two fold. First, we believe that our Christian worldview offers the Total Truth in respect to all parts of life. There is no secular/sacred split. Even our art, that is, especially our art, as the creative outflow of created beings, is a significant part of that Total Truth and therefore matters. Second, the arts, in general, are the tangible voice of the ages. Look at art from any period and you can determine a culture's values. Our aim is to live out that Total Truth in all aspects of our lives, including our creative lives, and to, hopefully, use it to illuminate and enlighten.
