Emerging New Artist...
She’s amazing!  I feel really special about this artist not only because she is truly talented, but she’s a family member!  My partner’s niece – my niece!  Shannon Moran!  Remember her name, because this young lady is going places.  She’s currently studying at Savannah College of Art & Design and recently got accepted in an exclusive program to do a semester in Paris! Look at the details in her work; oil on canvas and just spectacular detailing in a way that’s just wonderful!  We have some of her work in our home.  She’s always...

Desirable Living...
I’m a firm believer in creating your living space to  be a haven from your day-to-day daily activities, a place and a dwelling that can uplift your spirit and re-energize your life.  Well the below photographs of this penthouse loft does exactly that if only in my imagination.  This multi-million dollar loft was designed by renowned Architect Michael Haverland.  He cleverly used industrial conduits and materials (concrete, steel, walnut finishes, natural light, and hand-blown glass) to create a very clean and luminous modern look, while managing to keep the volume...

“LET ME ENTERTAIN YOU”...
Andreas Reimann – Artist I met Andreas Reimann while living in South Florida in 2001, and at that time he specialized in Mixed Media Technique in layers of Acrylic, Oil,  Silk-screening, Graphite, Pastel and Collage.

His...
