Gallery Mondays: A Bird’s Life by Elizabeth Grajales
Time for some art from New York City’s underground! On the way to the gym last month, I saw these gorgeous tiled art pieces by Elizabeth Grajales called A Bird’s Life on the platform of the 1 train at Penn Station. I was drawn to it immediately because of the soft green color. I then noticed…

Gallery Mondays: ‘Oculus’ by Kristen Jones and Andrew Ginzel
If you’ve ridden the A, C, or E train to Chambers Street in NYC, or ever waited for one of those trains underground, you’ve probably noticed a bunch of eyeballs staring at you. I’ve always found these mosaic eyes to be quite intriguing, and it wasn’t until recently while writing an article for Parachute by…
