Intrigued by the way spaces work together & how people inhabit-and interact-with those spaces; living in France as well as the US is informing my art anew!

A stately brick building on the corner of Greenwich St and Charles, 711 is used as the Donna Karan's exhibit & event space know as the Stephan Weiss Studio. Located in the heart of the West Village, the building is rich in history. To the right in the painting, in the arched doorway, is Urban Zen, at 705 Greenwich St. 10014, "a chic store supporting Donna Karan's nonprofit selling globally inspired styles, jewelry & furniture." Founded by Ms Karan in 2007, the Federal-style doorway is 705 Greenwich St. The former studio space of Donna Karan’s late husband, Stephan Weiss, this spacious art display and meeting place neighbors the Urban Zen boutique next door at 705 Greenwich Str.
