My print "What remains" was featured on the DESIGN SPONGE BLOG yesterday in their "affordable art" holiday shopping guide along with a link to my web site.
**From the web site: Design*Sponge has been featured on the cover of the New York Times' House and Garden section, The New York Times Currents Section, Newsweek, The Washington Post, The Washington Post Express, Yahoo Wire's Daily Site of the Day, Listed as one of "The Top 5 Blogs to Read" by New York Magazine, House and Garden, Home Magazine, Vanity Fair, Fast Company (Best Blogs Feature as well as a spot on their "must read" blogroll), Time Magazine's Design Issue (Top Design Blogs), Domino Magazine ("Domino Blackbook" and feature as "Sites We Love"), Metropolis Magazine online, Business Week Online, The New York Post, The Boston Globe, The San Francisco Chronicle, Elements of Living and variety of international publications including Australia's Sydney Herald.
So, a big shout out to Brooklyn- thanks Design Sponge! The babies will need new pairs of shoes (I'm pregnant with twins,) so the influx of new business is a genuine nest egg and an affirmation of the time I put into my work.
Go have a look, not because of my work, but indeed there are some VERY cool hand-pulled prints and gorgeous, often quirky gift ideas. Instead of shopping at the mall, or (gasp!) Wal-Mart, support the arts with your holiday dollars this year! It can make a very real difference in the life of one creative person out there and your gift recipients will be touched to receive something so unique and thoughtful.
Another year gone, leaving everywhere
its rich spiced residues: vines, leaves,
the uneaten fruits crumbling damply
in the shadows, unmattering back
from the particular island
of this summer, this NOW, that now is nowhere
except underfoot, moldering
in that black subterranean castle
of unobservable mysteries - - -roots and sealed seeds
and the wanderings of water. This
I try to remember when time's measure
painfully chafes, for instance when autumn
flares out at the last, boisterous and like us longing
to stay - - - how everything lives, shifting
from one bright vision to another, forever
in these momentary pastures.
