Art I Love

My friends Sasha and Mason are definitely the artsiest married friends I have…Sasha is a fabulous painter and Mason is a sculptor and teacher at the Grand Central Academy of Art in New York.  Every time I'm in New York I make a trip out to their home in Jersey for a great dinner (they are insane cooks), wine, and to check out and be inspired by their latest works.  My last trip to NY left me with a full belly of Pho, a new favorite cabernet, and an incredible painting!  Check out some of Sasha and Mason's work below.  If you want to see more of their work, check out their websites:

Sasha's work often focuses on human form and emotion - it was so exciting to see some of her architectural work as well…although, I guess I'm partial to her painting of women, because….

I love this new piece Mason just finished…her face is so peaceful and graceful

Does their apartment seem familiar?  That's because I photographed it the last time I was in NY - check out their space here...

Hot Mama

I've been teaching my mom how to edit photos of her sculptures the last few days & it reminded me how much amazing work she has created in the last few years. She started working with clay after my sister and I were older and has gone on to do solo shows and international exhibitions. Her work focuses on the feminine and the importance of the goddess in past cultures.  I thought I would share some of her artistry that I've photographed this past year.  It's good to remember that it's never too late to find your passion…
