Mexico Amor y Amor de Color
As of late I can't stop thinking about bright colors, sunshine, mixed prints, embroidered flowers...pretty much anything that is the opposite of cold, snow, and grey. Although I love Chicago for all its architectural and blue collar glory, enough is enough, bring on the summer fiesta already!
Here are little inspiration/mood "boards" for my next aesthetic obsession. If you know me, plan to see this stuff start to pop up all around...especially in my new apartment (wherever it'll be).

LOVE Press: Art Gets New Investors
February 26, 2008 (Chicago)To the age old questions, what is art, who determines its value, who makes one artist stand out form the next and so forth; finally has defined answers; you do. The Board of Investment Art, (www.boardofinvestment.com) an online art investment platform is putting you in the position to answer these questions. www.boardofinvestment.com launched in 2008 by Rachel Edelshteyn, a progressive thinker, business strategist and pioneer in the world of art, has opened the art community to the greater culture. The user-friendly online platform enables everyday people, established collectors, artists, and galleries to display, trade, and promote art freely.
The Board of Investment Art is equal parts inspiration and transformation; a sense of “history in the making” is palpable. The savvy site tracks the investment of art over time in a very inventive way. First, the site enables you to survey graphs for your very own collection or an artists’ work that you have your eye on. The value of a piece is controlled solely by the owner, who has the tools to increase or decrease a piece’s value at their desecration.
More significantly, users can monitor artwork by a series of emotions. These emotions are then tracked by the site and can be used as a search tool or a symbol of how our greater culture is feeling; if “love” has the largest type face in the list, then that is the most common emotion art on the site is conveying to our people. Take it for what it is, or use it as a reflection of our time; in any event there is an art investment in every emotion.
