Doris Duke's "Shangri-La" compound in Hawaii...

I am guessing there were some serious "hooka's"
being passed around in this amazing abode
that belonged to the worldly, Ms. Doris Duke, back in the day.
I would of loved to have been a fly on the wall...

Sofia Coppola's Home and Art Collection

Delicious Brunch at "The Corson Building" in Georgetown, WA

If you have not been to The Corson Building in Seattle, you must pay a visit soon. They grow all of their own veggies in their garden and the eggs are fresh from their own chickens. The egg dish with asparagus and hazelnuts, was amazing. Hazelnuts? Yes, hazelnuts, and it worked!!

My latest work...I think this is my favorite bird so far...N.W. Heron

I am so in love with Mamma Anderssons work, and I would LOVE

to add this piece to my dining room.If you are in New York between 

April 29th, to June 12th, you really should stop by the 

David Zwirner Gallery at 525 West 19th St. in Chelsea, to see this show. 

Opening reception is Thursday April 29th from 6-8 pm,

if you want to meet Mamma in person. 

Mamma Andersson is from Stockholm and was born in 1962,
