For St. Louis artist Jennifer Walker, painting is more than a creative practice. It is a way of paying attention; to color, to the natural world, to the people she loves, and to the beauty woven into ordinary life.

Jennifer is fascinated by the way colors interact, the way a particular place can stay with us long after we leave it, and the beauty that can be found in the most familiar things. Her work grows out of this curiosity, shaped by travel, observation, faith, and the rhythms of life at home with her husband and four children.

The design world has officially entered its rewilding era. Sherwin-Williams recently announced Celery SW 6421 as its 2027 Color of the Year, and it is the breath of fresh air our walls have been waiting for.

The most memorable gifts aren’t always the biggest. Sometimes, they’re simply the ones that feel considered.

There’s something special about giving a gift that feels as though it was chosen for one particular person. Not because it was the most expensive or elaborate option, but because it reflects something about who they are; the colors they love, the places they remember, the way they’ve made a house feel like home.

Art has a natural place in this kind of gifting.

Whether you're just starting an art collection or expanding one you've built over the years, one question inevitably comes up: Should you invest in original artwork or buy prints?

The answer isn't about which is better; it's about understanding what each offers and how it fits your collecting goals. Both originals and prints have an important place in the art world, but they provide very different experiences.

If Maggie could place her earliest paintings beside the work she creates today, she believes the biggest surprise would be how connected they feel.

Her love of painting began in college, where experimentation was everything. Painting offered freedom; the chance to test ideas, layer marks, and follow unexpected paths. Over time, that spirit of play evolved into a style distinctly her own.

The landscapes of the Southeast became an ideal subject because they offered both familiarity and possibility. Marshes, trees, waterways, and changing skies created a foundation that allowed her to explore what interested her most: the process of painting itself.

Still life has a reputation for being quiet. A bowl of fruit. A vase of flowers. A few objects arranged on a table. But look closer, and still life is anything but ordinary.

For centuries, artists have used the genre to explore beauty, time, abundance, mortality, color, and even identity. What makes still life so enduring is that the objects themselves are never really the point. It is what they allow us to notice.

There is a particular kind of beauty in a language that does not need words.

For Palm Beach based artist Susan Currie, that language is found in the nautical alphabet: 26 flags originally designed for communication at sea, now transformed in her studio into bold compositions of color, shape, and personal meaning.

Currie’s connection to the coast is not rooted in a lifelong boating tradition.

In 1874, a small group of artists challenged centuries of artistic tradition. Their paintings were criticized for looking unfinished, too loose, and far too different from what audiences expected. Ironically, those same paintings would become some of the most recognizable and celebrated works in the history of art.

Have you ever walked through a gallery, a hotel, or even a friend's home and found yourself suddenly stopping in front of a painting? Not because you planned to, but because something about it demanded your attention.

It's a curious experience. Out of dozens of images we see every day, only a few manage to create that pause. They interrupt our thoughts, and invite us to linger. So what makes certain paintings so unforgettable? The answer is often more complex than beauty alone.

A new semester is the perfect excuse to give your dorm a fresh start. The best part? You don't need a complete makeover to create a space that feels stylish, cozy, and uniquely yours.
