Old school post. Spring cleaning in the studio full of some interesting collections I can’t part with. These vintage loop tools for clay have so much character, I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to shoot them before they get categorized in the drawers of tools and flatware. Thought I’d start to share a bit more now that I am slowly recovering/ waking up from a brutal winter. Hoping you have a beautiful weekend. — ——And happy birthday @amandagramacy ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Vintage tin types from a collection started decades ago. I thought I had lost them, but felt so relieved when I found them recently in a box in the back of a closet. The box was labeled “gems” They are gems to me. - #tintypes #whatbettefound #collections #obsessions

What an absolute delight to feature new art from our dear friend and incredibly talented Bette Blau @whatbettefound ! She's created 5 extraordinary pieces for our Holiday Group Show. Each one is a one-of-a-kind treasure, and their sizes make them perfect for any space. You must see these collage-paintings up close to truly appreciate their intricate layers! . With a BFA in painting from School of Visual Arts, Bette began her career as a set decorator and tabletop stylist - a form of “painting with objects” through production. After many years, she moved to the role of photographer and then incorporated her love of painting and collage back into her life.
