Tina Steele Lindsey, Atlanta-based artist with a focus on realism and abstraction, paints to the sweet music of the violin in the background, which greatly influences the beautiful soft palette of her work and light brushstrokes – blushing rose, teal, mustard, lemon chiffon and mint – evoke the sense of morning light and dusky sunsets, using walnut oil and acrylics that would look so wonderful against white living room walls.

This weekend was a little relaxation, afternoon coffees and a lovely visit to the museum of modern art for the “talk to me” exhibit by paola antonelli – a wonderful exploration of the way technology redefines the evolving relationship between people and objects. Enjoyed such compelling and interactive designs that refine objects into a combination of function, form and meaning, and draft a script that develops a dialogue and embodies a new balance between technology and people.
Also, while at the museum, although not able to photograph, highly recommend a visit for a beautiful look into the work of de kooning, a retrospective, devoted to the full scope of a career of nearly 200 works from public and private collections, and including paintings, sculptures, drawings and prints ranging from figurative paintings to the urban abstractions and black and white compositions.

Upon researching for the first graduate school assignment, happily encountered the exquisite and ethereal work of australian-based designer and paper artist bianca chang, who perfectly transforms post consumer waste recycled paper into beautiful 3 dimensional letterforms by hand-plotting and cutting, and documenting the way each piece unfolds through an inspiring stop-motion animation.

Have always had an affection for handwritten notes, and find few things more charming than postcard letters filled with beautiful sweet nothings from your loved one, and especially when they feature personable illustrations like a heart-shaped hot air balloon or a pretty three-tier cake.
