Maybe that vitality will resonate with viewers; I hope so. Coco Pekelis Coco’s paintings, which she calls "scribbled auras," combine words and images to create evocative portraits of her subjects, both human and animal—her pig Albert, her donkey Emma, and a neighbor’s cow, Bertha, are among the "people" who have sat for their portraits. In these images, Coco is as interested in the interior life of her subjects as in their physical appearance—hence the use of words, phrases, and stories in her paintings.Joan TrippJoan Tripp’s grandfather Alfred C. Bates showed at the Royal Academy, England. Her father studied at Academie Beaux-Arts in France. Joan studied with Madame Marec from France while in her teens. Later she graduated from Ithaca College with a BS, and received her MA in Special Education from CW Post. Richard Udice Richard Udice grew up on the Rockefeller Estate in Pocantico Hills.

The show will run through May 30th at the gallery and thirty-five percent of the proceeds will benefit the Southampton Hampton Animal Shelter Foundation. The Southampton Animal Shelter was operated as a municipal shelter by the Town of Southampton until January, 2010. Due to budget cuts at the time, the Town eliminated the shelter. A concerned group of locals citizens banded together to save the shelter and created the Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation. The mission is to provide for the welfare of the ever growing number of homeless animals, and, in turn, to place them in permanent caring homes. The Shelter is primarily dedicated to caring for the homeless animals in the Hamptons community of twenty-two towns. They also rescue dogs from “kill shelters” from across the country and have partnered with No More Tears Rescue to rehabilitate and find loving homes for adult dogs from puppy mills. Their mission is to provide for the welfare of animals and reduce the number of homeless pets. Their goal is to promote and nurture the bond between people and animals through adoption, education and community outreach. Notable personalities that attended the Art Show Benefit included: B52's Band Member Fred Schneider, Artist Katherine Liepe-Lerinson, Brett Caldwell from Passport Magazine, Artists Paton Miller and Jeanette Martone, Entrepreneur and Art Enthusiast Owain Morgan, Photographer Shane Gritzinger and President and Founder Jonathan McCann from The Southampton Animal Shelter.

ArtHamptons has recently moved to a larger space to accomodate the growing popularity of fine art. This summer the fair relocated to the Sculpture Fields of Nova’s Ark, just 1,000 yards from the
2011 site.
Arthanptons was situated on an amazingly bucolic 97 acre nature
preserve featuring a dramatic Sculpture Park, serene pastures with
grazing horses, sheep and polo fields showcasing several games scheduled
during the fair. Their new home at Nova’s Ark Project is located on
Millstone Road off Scuttle Hole Road in Bridgehampton, a site well-known
for many charity events including the ever popular Super Saturday
fundraiser.
Arthampton has flourished in just three years since its inception. The Hamptons Expo Group has emerged as one of the
fastest growing fine art fair organizers in the United States.
Arthampton “boutique”
shows feature prominent galleries exhibiting the finest in post-war and
contemporary art. Headquartered in Southampton, New York, the Hamptons
Expo Group created and produces ArtAspen, ArtHamptons, the San Francisco
Fine Art Fair, the Houston Fine Art Fair and debuting in February 2012,
the Palm Springs Art Fair.
Hamptons glamorous art aficionados gathered to enjoy important works of art-presented by 75 prominent galleries from
around the world at the opening night party in Bridgehampton. Guests Enjoyed wine and hor d’oeuvres as they discovered the
finest in contemporary art. Admission donation benefited East Hampton’s LongHouse Reserve.
On Sunday afternoon Russell Simmons did a meet and greet with art enthusiast and fans to discusses how his Rush Foundation for the Arts provides more than
2,000 underprivileged children each year with access to the arts.
I was delighted to sit down and chat with Comedian Cheech Marin about Chicano Art. Primarily known as an actor, director and performer (half of the comedy
team Cheech and Chong) Marin has developed the finest private collection
of Chicano art in the country. He states, "Chicano art is American art.
My goal is to bring Chicano to the forefront of the art world." His
traveling exhibition, broke attendance records during its groundbreaking
15 city tour during 2007-2011. He has authored three books on the topic.
Well respected Art Adviser Constance Schwartz, the illustrious past director
of the Nassau County Museum of Art, shared her insights on
successful art collecting. She explored what you really need to know
to build an impressive fine art collection. The event hosted by Debra Rothberg from BTheBuzz and 25A Magazine served as a “meet and greet”
opportunity for art lovers from the Gold Coast region of Long Island.

Rosalind Brenner Artwork On Exhibit At "for The Love Of Art"
Artist Rosalind Brenner poses for a photo-op with TV Host Cognac Wellerlane at Ashawagh Hall Springs in East Hampton
Abstract Artist Rosalind Brenner exhibited her artwork this past weekend at Ashawagh Hall
Springs in East Hampton.
Rosalind Brenner is owner and president of Manor Art Glass Studio in
East Hampton, New York. Her unique designs and master craftsmanship have
won her continuous commissions, including new work and restorations in
ecclesiastic settings, homes and department stores throughout the
country. Her art glass is in landmarks buildings in New York, such as
The Chrysler Building, as well as the New School, Nordstrom, Neiman
Marcus, and others. Her paintings and art glass are in many fine homes.
She runs a busy studio where there are many works in progress, new as
well as restorations.
Rosalind has painted on glass and created gouache presentations
for her stained glass since the inception of her studio in 1972. She
worked under two mentors, Benoit Gilsoul and Robert Cariola, who shared
their knowledge of glass art and painting with her and she had a
three-year apprenticeship at The
Greenland Studio in New York City, where she worked on the
restoration of stained glass from the Cloisters and the Metropolitan
Museum.
In 1992 Rosalind began painting in watercolor, oils and acrylics, and experimenting with collage.
Rosalind's art pushes painting into the realm of the contemporary
by blending her own re-purposed artwork and materials and experimenting
with techniques to explore concepts and ideas. The work is a fusion of
the observed and the purely imaginative. She enjoys painting inner
landscapes, which range from luminous and evocative abstraction to forms
from nature, women, calligraphy, figures, creatures and music. Her
stained glass background is evident in her use of color, line and shape.
Rosalind received her MFA in poetry from Sarah Lawrence College and
often begins a visual work with a verbal concept drawn onto the support
that becomes partially obscured as the image emerges
Rosalind is a published poet currently creating books with her images and her poetry.
Painting award: First prize and publication of
"Possibilities" painting: "2009 Sarah Lawrence College Commencement" --
ticket, invitation and program. Selected one woman shows: The Unitarian Gallery, Plandome,

Hello darlings, Welcome Back To Cognac's Cormer Magazine
Edward Callahan will be featured majorly in an upcoming documentary
titled “Harry Winston and the Oscars” which will air internationally in
Japanese. One of Japan’s
most acclaimed directors, Shogo Watanabe, flew into New
York expressly to interview Edward about his role in creating the
glitz & glamour on the Red Carpet at the Oscars for over 15 years largely
though his extensive network in Hollywood
with the top producers, managers and agents. Mr. Callahan was
interviewed for over two hours about how he re-invigorated the Harry Winston
brand and earned them the status,
Official Jeweler to The Academy Awards. He covered a lot of ground from
the early 1980s right up to the last Oscar campaign he handled. That year he ensembled 28 major stars with Winston jewels resulting in a PR campaign that
Winston’s advertising agency calculated worth an incredible $63 million in
print, broadcast and radio time!
Fascinating stories are documented on how during Madonna’s performance of the “Dick Tracey” Oscar
nominated song, a VERY rich client form the Far East called and asked to have
the Harry Winston diamond necklace she was wearing immediately brought to LAX
Airport and delivered to one of his staff. He wanted to buy it as an
anniversary gift for one of his wives – he didn’t want them to take it to the
salon for a cleaning, so the wife got it complete with Madonna’s sweat and
makeup on it! Mr. Callahan revealed that Titanic nominee Gloria Stuart into designing
her own necklace built around a fabulously huge blue diamond he had Winston
bring in from SwitzerlandShe spent several days working with the head jeweler to
create the massive 220 carat necklace worth $20 million that she wore to the
Oscars – she didn’t win – Kim Basinger,
also dressed by Edward in Harry Winston did - but Gloria’s photo made
the front pages of papers around the world! All in all, through Edward’s efforts and that of his
partners at the fabled jewelry house Laurence Krashes and Kathleen Kerr who
gave him the necessary support, Harry Winston holds the record for having
dressed more Oscar winners than any jeweler in the world. His favorite line of his is “I’ve been lucky
enough to have had my arms around the necks of more beautiful movie stars than
Warren Beatty has”. There’s much , much more about everyone form Elizabeth
Taylor to Jennifer Lopez to Miss Piggy for whom he had a special hoof “ring”
made!
