If you don’t have a mentor…get a mentor. And preferably one as savvy and generous with time as George Gottl. I met George in 2018 on a visit to his stylish offices at UXUS, where he’s Chief Creative Officer and Co-Founder.

5 Things We Learned... Shelter Serra

Shelter Serra has an uncanny ability to show the humor, irony, grit, and gold in his artwork, which explores contemporary culture’s love/hate relationship to consumption, brand status, and object idolization.

Francine Meerveld runs FELD – an interior architecture studio – in the very cool A Lab community of Amsterdam Noord.

5 Things We Learned... Mark Dorf

I met Mark Dorf in New York in 2016. As a fellow Kentuckian, we no doubt bonded as most Kentuckians do - with bluegrass banter and bourbon references - but after pleasantries had been exchanged, we got to the heart of my visit: Mark's genre-breaking photography.

5 Things We Learned... Maggie McClure Zavolinksy

In 2014, Maggie McClure Zavolinksy and I were sequestered in a mall in Moscow on a complicated project installation: it was the dead of winter, the project was behind schedule, and the construction team was - for lack of a better phrase - OVER IT.

5 Things We Learned... Evan Fugazzi

Evan Fugazzi’s evolution from architect to still-life painter to abstract painter has been lovely to witness. The intentionality of his color and form seems spontaneous but is in fact influenced by his training as a classical architect and academic painter. He was one of the first artists I commissioned for Tiffany and Co. while curating in-store artwork.
