Katy Ann Gilmore
Los Angeles-based Katy Ann Gilmore is a multidisciplinary wonder – illustration, installation, painting, and sculpture are all within her wheelhouse. Her work is heavily influenced by topography and the relationship between 2D, perpendicular planes, and their distortions into 3D space.

Nicole Tijoux
I’ve been absorbed in art depicting water and swimmers this summer. Chilean-born Nicole Tijoux has been painting the subject matter since at least 2004, and tracking her progress up to the present is something special. She also has some phenomenal work focusing on riots and protests, which is unfortunately timely here in the U.S.

To Wallpaper or Not To Wallpaper
In my first house the guest room featured a wall of patterned navy blue wallpaper behind the bed’s headboard that I loved. But one short year after completing the room I picked up and moved halfway across the country, and the walls in the 1900 house are paperless. Having been in the space for nearly two years I’m beginning to see things in a different light, and considering an accent wall here and there. The second floor bath or perhaps a wall in the dining room, maybe something subtle or something bold that knocks your socks off the moment you walk into the room. Here are ten wallpapers I’ve got my eye on – thoughts?

Endre Penovác
Though Endre Penovác paints with oils as well as draws, it’s his watercolors that I’m drawn towards. The depth and detail he creates with pigments spreading across the wet paper on their own is utterly mesmerizing, made all the more so then the simplicity of most of Endre’s subjects is considered.

Anna King
Anna King works in oils on paper pasted onto board, drawing into the wet paint with a pencil to create a deconstructed, sketch-like finished piece. Her desolate landscapes and buildings jive so nicely with the end result.
My work explores the margins of landscape – overlooked, peripheral places – abandoned buildings, wastelands, plantations and quarries. These structures are marks we’ve made on the world, and now time passes without human intervention – paint peels, grass grows through cracks in concrete and the temporary nature of our own existence is brought into sharper focus.

Bonnie and Neil
I first came across Australian textile design studio/duo Bonnie and Neil about a year ago, and it gave me butterflies. Their vibrant range of home products incorporate botanicals, bright patterns, and an occasional nod to Australiana culture, with designs influenced by their surroundings and a love of color. My favorites though are Bonnie and Neil’s plate collection (get in my cupboard already!).
