Wonder Woman (my fellow Wonder Shuffle staffer) and I visited a few galleries in Chelsea recently, popping in and out and seeing what looked interesting. (It's a fun thing to do, especially on a nice day.)

One of my favorite stops was at the David Kordansky Gallery, where we were introduced to the work of Hilary Precis. We loved her bright and bold colors, her focus on domestic spaces, the details of her interiors, and the many patterns and textures she incorporates into her paintings. I think of her a little bit now as a twenty-first century Matisse.

I enjoyed her cats, her flowers, and most of all her depictions of books--big and bright and beautiful, showing us lived-in, much-loved spaces, and a quiet kind of joy.
