When I first saw Jeanne Opgenhaffen’s work I immediately though she had to be about my age. I have no idea why I thought this – maybe I just connected with the pieces or the colors, or the tonality but I was very surprised to learn that Jeanne was actually born in 1938, making her […]

Part computer scientist, part architect, Marc Fornes is all awesome. He builds “large scale prototypical installations” – my favorite. The pictures don’t do them justice. I’m not sure what these are made of – plastic? I love them – you can really get inside them – the feel like part of a set for a […]

We’re back from Scotland! It was an amazing trip and I saw lots of cool landscape, animals and architecture. As I was suffering overnight from some initial jetlag I came upon the art of Petah Coyne (more on that soon). In doing some research I ended up looking closer at the products and pieces of […]

I love art built in nature and on Pinterest the other day I came across Laura Ellen Bacon’s work from the UK. Her “Nests” are made from natural materials set in a way where people can interact with them within their surroundings. I love that you can’t really tell the difference between the leaves and […]

I feel like I’ll be apologizing for delayed posting for a while now — with moving back to Boston things have been a little hectic but I attended an event last night in Brooklyn that I had to post on. The event was held at the old Invisible Dog factory, which was a popular 70s […]

This weekend I had the pleasure of going to the SoWa Art Open Market, which is like a real live Etsy in the South End of Boston. There were so many great artists making everything from dog leashes to hats to jewelry in addition to food vendors like bakers, jam makers, and a hot dog […]

Nora Kogan’s line, St. Kilda’s, is as enchanting for the work she produces as for her personal story. Having lived in Odessa, Italy, Australia, and Japan amongst other places all before moving to New York it’s hard to pinpoint the largest influence on her work but by looking at the pieces you know that they […]

I have seen this amazing jewelry designer at a series of boutiques in the last five years on both coasts and in between. Nava Zahavi’s name though didn’t stick in my mind as strongly as the style of her pieces, which are unique in both rough stone choice and technique. In my years making jewelry […]

While I’m partial to Dash and Albert for their sturdiness and cost-effective pricing I also love Madeline Weinrib’s rugs for their design and durability too. My friends Samantha and Leah have several of the pink Brooke rug in their apartment and it’s elegant while not being too loud for their space. As a huge fan […]
