I haven’t made it a secret how much I love wood, natural materials in general, and therefore the artist Bryan Nash Gill. I really enjoyed working with him for the opener of our October issue,  I love his book and have been dreaming about owning one of his prints. Since they are a bit out …

Hopefully you saw this art work by Bryan Nash Gill in our October issue of Martha Stewart Living, watched our video about him and maybe even ordered his beautiful book. His work really is stunning and if you’re lucky enough to be in the Chicago area January 19- April 14, 2013, you can see his …
