Sunday Selects | wabi-sabi
Sunday Selects is a weekly review of the art, artists and culture curated by gallery director and founder Kim Fonder. The books, podcasts, music, and food highlighted are shared with our email subscribers to enjoy and to connect to their own creative processes. By providing a connection to newly discovered art and objects as well as sharing enjoyed rituals, We find this approach similar to the concept of wabi sabi, a Japanese term referring to the appreciation of the beauty of imperfection, impermanence, and simplicity as the natural state of things in the world. This week, we feature 3 artists who are focused on their interpretation of their experiences by location and emotional state. Douglas Witmer shares abstract works that emphasize calm color palettes in minimal abstract paintings. Ceramic artist Brandon Reese shares his sculptures marked by a sense of history and familiar forms. Patricia Larsen's paintings are a reflection of the wabi sabi approach that is an integral part of her artwork as well as her lifestyle.

Lived In Modern
Interior design is all about making a space feel like home, and one of the best ways to do that is by combining old and modern pieces. This creative approach to decorating creates a unique, homey elevated look that feels like it has been carefully curated over time. By mixing vintage items with modern trends, you can create a space that is full of character and charm. Not only does this style create a cohesive look, but it also allows you to bring in pieces with sentimental value. With the right mix of old and new, you can create a room that is truly one-of-a-kind.
Featured Artist | Margaret Evangeline
Margaret Evangeline is a contemporary abstract female artist whose work has been greatly influenced by her upbringing in Louisiana. She is well-known for her post-minimalist paintings, but she has branched out to sculpture constructed with metals.

Hygge Holiday
From the Danish word “to hug,” hygge started as a method of defense: during the harsh Nordic winters, the Danes warded off the seasonal blues by taking time to appreciate small, calming pleasures like a piece of warm bread right out of the oven, or a soft pillow under the head. Hygge suggests a harmony with the outdoors, through unfinished wood, pale neutral colors, and soft, unadorned fabrics.
