Wow, what a whirlwind of a week and it’s only the first week of March!! There’s simply so much going on – from the west coast last month with Modernism Week (See my post from last week) – to the east coast with THE largest home furnishings market in the USA, the big High Point Market, coming up April 16 – 20th. (And I just got back from a one day trip to Dallas to meet with a client and surprise our TOP account, Casa di Lino, on their 10th anniversary of being in business, of which 8 of those years they’ve carried the Deborah Main luxury pillow line – Congratulations!!!)

But one common thread through these two coastal power events is Heather Karlie Vieira (above), owner of 20th Century by HKFA. Heather, a talented antique and vintage collector, had some of her vintage beauties showcased in the gorgeous master suite designed by Justin Saulis (below) at the Christopher Kennedy Compound last month – the stunning vintage 3 pronged lamp I’m still swooning over because of it’s fabulous shape, let along Justin’s gorgeous color palette. But now, Heather is back on the east coast launching the brand new Modern Look Book concept at High Point Market this spring.

I’ve been dying to share with you Heather’s EXCITING and brilliant concept Modern Look Book debuting alongside all her highly curated vintage, antique and modern collection of furnishings at High Point Market in April, because she will represent four on-the-rise artists & brands – Deborah Main pillows , Michael Penn photography, Montauk Style linens, and our featured artist today – Clintel Steed.
NONE of these artists & brands (including yours truly!) have ever had their work showcased at High Point Market, so this is an incredible honor to be represented by Heather Karlie Vieira of 20th Century by HKFA as part of her debut concept Modern Look Book.
Calling all interior designers, retailers and press who go to High Point Market, please be sure to stop by Heather’s booth #34 (MS-G-34, ADC) in the Antique & Design Center. (Read all about her listing and #hpmkt location HERE). And follow the hashtag #hpmkt from now through the market on Twitter and Intsagram, because just yesterday Lisa Ferguson of DecorMentor hosted her semi-annual fast & furious Twitter chat giving all who followed a sneak peek into 8+ designer picks to expect at High Point next month. Here’s Lisa’s favorite eight (below), but be sure to check out her Facebook Page for ALL the designer’s picks.

Now onto our first featured artist of the Modern Look Book, NYC-based painter, Clintel Steed.
Below are three of his most recent works, the two on the left are titled “Beijing Smog #8 and #9” oil on masonite, and the 3rd, “City Building #2”, which is also the painting below.

We asked Clintel Steed a few questions:
PG: What inspires you to create your art and why?
CS: Being in the moment is what inspires me!! When I am conscious, the subject matter is all around me!!!
PG: What differentiates your work from others in the home décor industry?
CS: I am not really concerned with where my work is shown right now!! It’s not about ego for me it’s about beauty and I just want to show my work to people who want to see it!!!
PG: How will collaborating with 20th Century by HKFA and being part of the Modern Look Book concept at High Point help interior designers learn more about what you have to offer their clients?
CS: I think by joining up with HKFA I am just giving my work more of a chance to be seen!! Which is the goal of any artist I believe!! Work is made to be seen, not live in closet!!!
And here are a few other creative works by Clintel Steed that I really like for their multitude of color, shape, and texture. He paints everything from portraits to cityscapes to aerial views, to money and more. What is so unique about his paintings, as with many a painter, is that they are painted from how Clintel perceives the world….and I love it!! To me, Clintel offers a never-before-seen unique vision, seeing his world from a different lens, then say the camera or another painter. If you want to learn more about what makes Clintel tick, here’s a fascinating interview, done in 2012 by ARTAlmalgamated, about Clintel Steed’s unique work.
