I was just struck when I saw a painting by UK artist Chris Rivers on Laura Brown’s Instagram feed the other day and then spent the next 20 minutes or so checking out his work. It’s amazing. His latest works are what are so intriguing to me… the soft blurred paints mixed with the harder …

#MondayMotivation // Have the Audacity to Live a Life you Love
I watched Damien Hirst‘s documentary for his last exhibition in Venice, Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable and was in complete awe.

Artist Feature // Living Vicariously Through Gray Malin’s Beaches
In this last week of summer, which is already pretty chilly, but beautiful, I can’t help but look back on this summer and wonder where it went. I’d argue that it never really came, but logically and realistically, I know that can’t be true. It’s just that it came and went without much fanfare and …

Like fashion and personal style, makeup allows us to be whomever we want to be. We all have our own reasons for wearing it, how we wear it, or choosing not to wear it at all is part of our identity. From the colors we’re drawn to and the application we choose, makeup can enhance …

Instagram Photographer to Follow // The Slow Traveler

Girls Carrying Bunches of Flowers… in front of their face
There’s something intriguing and mysterious, yet also completely fun and carefree about these images of women, fashionably dressed in street style settings, carrying bunches of flowers in front of their faces.

Artist Feature // Allie Lehman’s New #the100dayproject
Last year Allie created a painting every day for 100 days and sold nearly every one of them. From soft abstract landscapes and still lifes in bright neons, in large and small formatted canvases, Allie’s paintings had a dreamlike quality that were soothing to look at. This year, however, she’s doing something very different and …
