Happy November! I can’t believe how fast the last 10 days have gone by – Halloween, our friends’ wedding, NYC for work, Esplanade benefit, houseguests – now we’re at November 6th – crazy! It was nice to get an extra hour of sleep last night and I’m pretty sure I spent that hour banging around […]

I love spiky weird things and Ikuko Iwamoto’s ceramics fit the bill both in her functional pieces as well as her sculptures like the ones below that look like growths. Ikuko works in porcelain, a favorite material of mine for its lightness. How cool are her wall installations? They look like they’re growing and alive, […]

Every so often everyone has one of “those” days – today was one of them for me and as a treat to me I’m salvaging it with an end of day post of beautiful porcelain work by Valeria Nascimento who self-describes her work as, “about repetitive sequencing with separate elements to form a cohesive sculptural […]

Wow. I literally don’t know how I found Pia Männikkö online today but I think it had something to do with looking at things like honeycombs. Pia lives and works in Helsinki, Finland and recently graduated from The Glasgow School of Art, which put up a few of her pieces online – she also keeps a […]

While Sonya Philip is one of the next amazing artists on my list to highlight – one woman that she Pinned the other day was Susan Warner Keene and I was blown away by her paper and fibers work. I’ve been thinking about experimenting with paper making lately and seeing what Susan has done over […]

The weird and the wonderful strikes again in the form of Caroline Cox, who by all accounts I should know of already. Edward Winkleman called her, “Williamsburg art world royalty” and that was in 2005 so I feel extraordinarily behind the times on this one. I should note that I write this as I sit […]

After nearly a week of being under the weather, I’m feeling marginally alive again. I can almost breath through my nose! In the spirit of the laziest four days of my life being behind me I’m posting about a young woman who seems to be doing a LOT with her time, Bethany Mitchell. I’m pretty […]

While my mom and I were out cruising around Jamaica Plain this weekend we also stopped by The Hallway Gallery, owned by one of the founders of Room 68. The gallery had a show up of paperclip watercolors, literally watercolors of paperclips by Dan Golden, which were amazing. I went on their blog though, when […]

I’m hooked on Pinterest – this isn’t going to be the last time I say this but the site is awesome. I added the “Pin It” button to my toolbar and now as I’m cruising the internet I’m pinning stuff, repinning other people and liking what everyone else is up to. One pin that I […]
