time.

Jennifer Maestro
 Artist Jennifer Maestre has embraced the uniqueness of her work. She laughingly
relates the responses of people who see her creative sculptures for the first
time. Her rarified world includes but a few who use the common pencil to create
fine art...in her case not in pencil drawings, but by lashing them together as
sea creatures and mythological forms. The process takes hundreds of hours and
sometimes, when things aren't right, it can take hundreds more.

Carolyn Moore
 Carolyn Moore has changed and she's taking friends, family and customers along
with her. Though she lives in a small Texas city, her taste tends more to Soho
and her store "Red" is painting the town. Carolyn's fun and funky style
incorporates vintage and trend-setting modern, and she believes anyone can make
a style element work if they love it enough.

thriving career, a great husband, a lovely home, and five charming children. She
is a successful fabric designer and in October will debut her first book. But

sweet.

Annie Brahler
 Designer Annie Brahler sees function in the strangest forms. She and her team
are masters at transformations; from taking something outdated to an item that
is both useful and unique. Annie is not impressed with price or provenance and
contends that a remake of a reproduction can work as well as an expensive
antique. If you ever want to impress Annie, remember to leave the fake flowers
at home...in a closet.
