Paige Wassel | Guest Curator

“I have been following David Kitz’s work for a while. He photographs a lot of still life concepts, which I absolutely love because I am a prop stylist. I love “show it like it is” art - no garnishes. He also is drawn to a lot of color and amazing lighting which is something I look for when purchasing art because it provides a sense of happiness to a space.”

“Something about Martinet + Texereau’s drawings and prints bring me back to my childhood. They sketch a lot of almost suburban homes, which remind me of my life growing up in the suburbs of Chicago. I love when a piece of art can make me feel a sense of comfort and for some reason these homes do just that.”

“I have found myself being drawn to very simple photographs. This man reading a newspaper was photographed by Danny Lane. He used a film camera which I think produces the most authentic and true images. Nothing staged, nothing over the top. I absolutely love a photograph of simply nothing, just life in general, the mundane and intimate hours of the day.”
