Out and About: Art + Design = KMFA Soiree

They say that living without art, is like living without sunshine. I want sunshine, don’t you? What better place to find it than in the Hamptons. Happy to accept an invitation from the fabulous Kathryn Markel of Kathryn Markel Fine Arts, I drove out to Bridgehampton, NY. Kathryn is energetic and her love for art is immediately contagious. I met a group of art enthusiast and designers and we walked a few feet from her gallery to artMRKT Hamptons. Kathryn has over 35 years of experience and has galleries in New York City and Bridgehampton, NY.

We had engaging conversations about art and the artists in the exhibits. Kathryn was our personal tour guide. She really knows her stuff. Later in the day, we continued the conversation of art and design at her home over cocktails. Her home is filled with sunshine, art, and beautiful decor. I met some wonderful people, including her amazing assistants Debra Marcoux and Sann Van Deventer . Thank you Kathryn, Debra and Sann for a delightful summer soiree.
