Art Chicago 2010
When L'Anne Gilman, owner of Gilman Contemporary, told me that they were applying to attend Art Chicago with my Kaleidoscope series, I was more than flattered. L'Anne has been a both a friend and mentor with my fine art for over five years. It was L'Anne who took note of my Au Musée series and gave me my first solo exhibition in 2005. In 2007, she opened Gilman Contemporary and has attracted clients from around the world with her unique vision. Charles and I enjoyed our joint exhibition 'Pieces of Paris' at her gallery in 2008. We are inspired by the unique approach that L'Anne takes with her gallery and friendship that has grown out of this relationship. We can't wait to be a part of L'Anne's repertoire of artists at Art Chicago. If you are in the area, stop by her booth and check out her gallery. You will love what you see!!! Email us if you plan on attending the event. We'd love to meet you there.

Our Room with a View
Something arrived in the mail today that we are very excited about. It's a book published by one of our favorite publishers, Assouline. We first met Martine Assouline in her unpretentious Paris office a few years ago. She epitomizes French style and class. Her vision with Assouline continues to visually inspire us. The book is a compilation of the many "Room with a View" images photographed for Condé Nast Traveler spanning 57 countries, 140 hotel properties, 230 pages, and among the contributors, two smiling photographers from Nebraska. Our photograph was shot at Little Dix Bay in Virgin Gorda.
I love the poetic introduction of the book by André Aciman. Here's an excerpt:
"A room with a window is not about the view but about having the view and knowing you have it. A picture of the same without the window is a still file, what the French call a nature morte-dead to the senses. And that, in the end, is what is so magical about a room with a view that shows us the room and the view. It is not dead. It is not timeless. It is here and now. Just walk onto this balcony, says the picture, and you're suddenly there."

#4 Rhizosphere Farm
Meeting Terra and Matthew was like a breath of fresh air. The March day was still a cold one, but you sense the anticipation of spring and the ground beginning to thaw. They came into the studio and immediately engaged us by telling us how they ended up in Omaha over a year ago. It is precisely their path to Omaha that continues to intrigue us. Omaha is growing its own organic roots and drawing amazing people from all over the country. I hope that everyone reading this will check out the blogs that Terra and Matthew chose as their favorites. Supporting the local food movement is so important for an infinite number of reasons. We can't wait to enjoy the produce that they will be growing at Rhizosphere this season. I'll be checking in with Terra and Matthew in the coming weeks so stay tuned. And don't forget to buy locally grown food whenever you can! It tastes better and will definitely make you SMILE!!!
Thanks To Terra, Matthew, and all those other farmers out there who are feeding us and making the world a better place. Keep it growing!
