Serena Dugan: Beauty is Not Equal to Perfection

Painter. Textile Designer. Entrepreneur. Serena Dugan’s creative chapters connect from her early days doing site-specific freehand painting, and as a textile artist who did block printing and printed her own fabrics. She then teamed up with boutique owner Lily Kanter and created the uber-successful home brand Serena & Lily before returning to her roots as a painter and an aesthetically free-flowing textile designer whose fabrics and wallpapers are released under her Serena Dugan Studio label. Serena joins the podcast to discuss the beauty of non-perfection and the power of checking out, plus shares her personal ideal of business success and plans for a new dream incubator on Shelter Island. “I tend to not be caught in yesterday’s story because there are too many great things that are possible,” shares Dugan, “and I’d rather not waste my energy thinking about what has happened.”
