a few weeks ago we went to the Gowanus Open Studios which is just a few blocks from our house....one of my favorite fall events. Being 8 months pregnant kind of put a limit on how much walking around we could do but we still got to see a ton of art. AND buy something we both truly fell in love with too...not an easy task!
tucked behind another kind of boring artists studio we had seen in years past, we found Amy Weil who creates these magical paintings using 'encaustic' technichs... from the artist herself "my work embodies abstractions that parallel the cycles of nature by a process of scraping, adding, and fusing wax"... plus she was super nice and really great to talk to.
here's some shots of her tiny studio and the piece we bought hanging in our living room.
