From our first days, Green in BKLYN has featured the works of local artists’ in our “loft gallery.”

This month Tom Kane’s show – “Look For Hearts” – celebrates love & the fact that it’s all around us.  Literally.  In the streets, on walls, carved in stone & falling from the trees.  I’ll let Tom explain:

Look For Hearts originally started on February 10, 2009.

I’d been trying to think of a Valentine’s present for my girlfriend that took a little more thought than buying one of the sticky-sweet gifts you see around that time.

Suddenly I noticed how many hearts were right under my nose.  And not Valentine’s decorations, either.  All over Brooklyn I saw them scrawled on walls & hiding in gardens, carved in stone, in the work of local street artists.

Four days later I had 200 hearts.  I went to my neighborhood bookstore for a small red Moleskine notebook & pasted a postage stamp-size print on each page.

Everyone knows that once you start noticing something, it’s hard to stop.  So I didn’t.  I’ve been taking heart pictures for a whole year now & my photos include all four seasons.

I’m so pleased Elissa gave me the opportunity to show a few of them at Green in BKLYN.  I hope you enjoy them when you visit the store.

LookForHearts.com will be live on February 11^th – just in time for Green in BKLYN’s Valentine’s celebration!

And the Moleskine’s still on her mantle…

We’ll be holding a reception at Green in BKLYN on Thursday, February 11th from 5-7pm to celebrate Tom’s show, his website going live &, of course, love…

Join us for a glass of organic wine & to warm your heart.
