Meet Maureen Naughton, an artist who checks all those boxes and makes it look so easy. We began working with Maureen a while ago and it's … [Read more...]
Real or Faux? That art the question.
There is nothing like being grabbed by a piece of art. It happened to me on a recent trip to Paris, when I was visiting the flea market (and admittedly playing a game of hide and seek with one very famous French actress – she was hiding and we were all seeking!). Once I got over that excitement, I walked by a booth and literally stopped in my tracks, captivated by a little … [Read more...]
The Maine Event: Weddings

While some Huffingtons were busy coordinating all the millions of flying pieces that go into opening a new business location, two of us were lucky enough to sneak off under the radar and enjoy a fabulous, family wedding on a beach in Maine over a long weekend. I usually manage to get away to Maine for a few days every year, but … [Read more...]

What makes these artists new and different?
If gallery etiquette be known, normally it’s a no-no for an artist to walk in to a gallery with one of their paintings under their arm. But when Geri Eubanks came in to our Home store, carrying a painting that she had done for her daughter and looking for accessories to go with it, the crowds stopped in their tracks and gathered around her! I got a quick summons from the back … [Read more...]
A Southern Gentleman: Artist Jim Seitz
Last week, a mysterious package showed up at the gallery. From the label, we figured it was something from one of our very favorite artists (and people), Jim Seitz.
