by Marina Rybak


The prestigious Edwynn Houk Gallery is known for representing a special group of prominent contemporary photographers.  Just recently the gallery has introduced the latest works of the Iranian-born and Vienna-based Sissi Farassat.

The artist hand-embroiders the photographs she captures. And in the process she creates something uniquely her own – an elaborate, ethereal photo-art, which triggers visually rich sensory experience for the viewer.

An Intimate Garden ~ Chantelle

February 19, 2013

My first exposure to an English garden was in college when I traveled to Henley on Thames to see my boyfriend compete in the 1972 Olympic Rowing Trials.  Their photo finish loss in the finals to Harvard after 4 years of intensive training was disappointing but at least we had several days to distract ourselves in this pretty rural village.  Lovely cottages embraced by gorgeous perennial gardens lent an unexpected … Read More

Shell Belle Couture

As I was explaining a few days ago, with intimates “it’s all about the details”.  Yes, technical prowess is critical for fit and function, but with Intimate Apparel, it’s the special touches that transform a style into a seductive and elegant art form.  Unlike outerwear, which gets visual support from accessories, shoes, jewelry, even cosmetics, undergarments are constrained by the very fact that they sit so close … Read More

I love the heart-opening sensation, reading a simple rhyme. This week is infused with Love and is extra potent. So here are some of my favorite simple love rhymes.

Become A Legendary Lover

February 13, 2013

By Margaret Shrum

My parents were madly in love, so much that my father designed a house and filled it with gorgeous furniture that accommodated my mother’s petite 4’10 stature. He made sure that she could reach every shelf, her feet touched the ground on every chair she sat in and he created a home that was cozy and special for her. At the end of her life, he was … Read More
