As the daughter of a painter and an organic farmer, artist Molly Hatch spent her youth alternating between creative play and physical labor. This early training ground would prove important later in life, providing the discipline and hard work for life as an artist. Today, Molly's colorful designs and illustrations adorn tableware, wallpaper and furniture. 

Artists Thyra Hilden and Pio Diaz created this sculpture of an elaborate tree root system around a light fixture. When lit, it projects a forest that changes as the light is dimmed or brightened. It's moody, perhaps even a bit spooky, like a Grimm's fairy tale come to life.

Mantiques Modern transports you to another time when brass and metal were materials of choice. At every glance there are hidden gems in their vast Manhattan gallery. From restored airplane engines as coffee tables to vintage European jewelry, these guys have it all. Their attention to detail, and an eye for quality, puts their collection at the forefront of antique dealers in New York.  

I love huge, beautiful pieces of art, but I don't have a wall at home big enough to hang anything large, so we've started a little trade with our friends over at the Clic Gallery. This is one of my favorites by Lulu DK, and the reason I really want to meet her. Her collages are beautiful and trippy at the same time. Click below or more info and to see this one close up as well as the other artworks we've hosted.

In a charming show now on view in Brooklyn, two artists imagine a series of animal match-ups: lobsters vs. butterflies! Zebra vs. horse! Rabbit vs. frog! Which animals would you love to see painted in hand-to-hand (hoof, paw, etc.) combat, and who do you predict would win?

Many of us may associate May Day with baskets of flowers but May 1st is also known as International Workers' Day, a day set aside to consider the international labor movement. I turned to the Etsy, the everyman's marketplace, to help commemorate the worker and came up with some fun (and affordable) art.

As if tea and booze weren't useful enough as we slogged our way through this looooong winter, several savvy artists- and one parent- have found ways to incorporate the delicious drinks into their art...

Besides the telephone, has there been any device which has changed and evolved more than the camera? The history of photographic equipment is captured beautifully in this print of 100 landmark cameras, from both professional and consumer models, starting in 1888 with wooden case, The Kodak, to today's action-oriented, 2013 GoPro Hero.
