Studio Snapshots: The Private Spaces of Creatives at Work
An Artists Open Studio Tour By Sandra Tyler, Editor-in-Chief Having grown up with an artist as a mother, I have always revered that private space of the creative at work; a space that resonates of the artist’s individuality, and a reason I’ve always enjoyed studio tours—over the years, having helped my mother prepare her own…

Exhibition Review: Agnes Martin
Abstract Expressionist or Minimalist? By Sandra Tyler, Editor-in-Chief Agnes Martin’s works are not immediately impactful. There is no Jackson Pollock wow factor.

But Moholy-Nagy’s works do not resonate of that same playfulness, certainly not on the level of Calder’s at…
