• Gallery Mondays: Dali Swirl by Tripp Derrick Barnes

  I was on the way to the New York Public Library a few weeks ago when this vibrant mural by South Carolina artist Tripp Derrick Barnes stopped me dead in my tracks. Called “Dali Swirl,” the mural is painted on the doors of The Bar Downstairs at Andaz 5th Avenue. In it, Salvador Dali’s face, signature…

• Gallery Mondays: Happy Chinese New Year

  The first day of the Lunar New Year was this past weekend! Kung Hei Fat Choi! I was at Macy’s in Queens Center Mall on Saturday morning when I came across this sensational Chinese dragon decor for the New Year celebration. My favorite color is yellow, so of course this popped right out at me.…

• Gallery Mondays: Rise Above

  About two weeks ago I saw this amazing art installation in the Flatiron Prow Art Space. Created by Sarah Haviland, the installation is called Rise Above, and it glows beautifully in this space at night. I’m not sure what it looks like during the daylight hours, but those winged figures sure look magical in the…

• Gallery Mondays: The White House

  I had the honor of visiting Washington, D.C. during the 4th of July weekend in 2016—a time when President Obama still had months left of his second term, and everyone was still grappling with the fact that Donald Trump would be on the ballot come November. Now that we’re days away from the inauguration, Obama…

• Gallery Mondays: Winter Rabbit

  We had our first official snow day of 2017 this weekend.  Not fun. On my way to the N train last week, I walked by Chase bank on West 39th between Fashion Ave. and Broadway when I saw this cute winter rabbit on the window. I just love how innocent and vulnerable he looks! The…

• Gallery Mondays: Crystallize by La’Maj & Co

  Well, hello there, 2017! About a year ago, I saw this gorgeous replica of a bottle of Moët & Chandon Impérial Champagne in the window of a shop between Fashion Ave. and 8th Ave. in the Garment District in Manhattan. I wish I could remember which shop it was exactly, but the only information I…

• Gallery Mondays: Spa

  We got our first snow in NYC over the weekend, but I wasn’t even mad because I had a reservation at Russian and Turkish Baths in the East Village. I went with Karina, who has been to a few other bath houses before the one we went to on Saturday. It was my first time…

• Gallery Mondays: Dream Jar

  I went to the NJEA at the Atlantic City Convention Center in New Jersey again this year for work. I was super excited to see the student artwork there, and I wasn’t disappointed. I saw this really great mixed media piece by Irving Adame from Haddon Township High School. As soon as I saw it,…

• Gallery Mondays: Puck

  Back in September, I was walking through NoLIta after buying tickets for a show at Mercury Lounge when I saw this golden statue on the Puck Building, known as the home of retail store REI. When I first saw the statue, which is one of Shakespeare’s characters named Puck (hence the name of the building),…

• Gallery Mondays: On Ripeness and Rot

  Is it still hunting season? I saw this rather interesting piece of art last month at Last Rites Gallery in Midtown. The piece is part of Kimberly Witham’s On Ripeness and Rot series, which contrasts fresh fruits with dead animal carcasses. How’s that for morbid? It’s crazy how she combines the two so gracefully, almost as they…
