“Michael Eastman’s ‘Green Interior’ captures so much of what I love: patterned tile, cane-back furniture, the use of color. Here, he shines a light on glamour in decay. But—as this image of a home in Havana reminds us—true style endures.” –Veronica Theodoro, Editor-in-Chief
“I recently saw a post on Instagram from local designer/artist David Rygiol (@ryejol) showing an art installation he’s doing at Brennan’s in Midtown. I’m a sucker for pattern as well as anything that’s bright and graphic, so I’d love to have a smaller version of this piece in my house—and I’m excited to see it in person.” –Emily Cramsey, Art Director
“This past October, I met and became a fan of contemporary artist Sam Meléndez and his wonderfully vibrant art. His work is inspired by time spent in Puerto Rico. If I had to choose just one piece, I’d go with the beautiful pink acrylic painting titled ‘Autumn.’” –Tom White, Design Director
“I visited artist Chloe West’s studio during CAM’s open studios this year, and I would love to have a painting of hers, either one from her series of blinds or one of her blue paintings of eyes.” –Steph Zimmerman, Digital Media Manager
“‘Fidel’s Last Stairway’ by Michael Eastman, a photograph as richly elegant as a Sargent portrait, capturing the decadent glory of Cuba in a time we were not allowed to witness.” –Jeannette Cooperman, Staff Writer
“Currently I’d have to say something from Aly Ytterberg. She has a barn series that’s caught my eye recently, and I’m also drawn to the mountainscapes she’s creating.” –Kevin A. Roberts, Staff Photographer
