Meryl Pataky is a San Francisco-based artist finishing her BFA in Sculpture at the Academy of Art University. Working with personal narrative and human condition, she masters the art of mixed media using a variety of materials for their seemingly tactile nature. She says, “I think an object’s inherent meaning vs. its intended meaning can serve as a very intriguing conversation.” Pictured above is “Playground Love.”
We received a fun email from Spur Stor last week, a shop specializing in theater project posters. My oh my, are these super fun.
My favorite? “Walk a Mile in My Drawers.”

John Harrison Berry just graduated from Rhode Island School of Design and lives, works and breathes sculptures. I love the organic, almost alive, feel of his works — from “Hold Me Up” to “Titanic.”
Fantastic execution.
Natalia Sanabria has a beautiful eye and knack for feminine drawings. This one’s a bit more edgy than her others, and I’m loving it.
Odili Donald Odita has created the most beautiful acrylic on canvas work. I’d love to see this over a modern fireplace, but then again? It would completely overshadow the fireplace itself, wouldn’t it?
Lovely.
Sharon Louden’s installation “The Dean Field” is stunning. A glass and fiber optics piece acts as a field of light and chandelier that spans the 400-square-foot room, creating a landscape on the ceiling.
Who wants one of these in their home? Me, please!
L.A.-based Zack Stadel creates beautiful tapestries from pigmented ink and fabric. Gorgeous!
Floridian artist Mark Creegan’s used watercolor pans have created a beautiful sculpture. Proof that beauty is in the process, indeed!
Elizabeth Sheppell sent over her recent work this weekend, and wow — her paintings are quite surreal. In her newest series, she explores mark making by cutting back into the work.
