Using Art, Color, and Pattern to Update a Traditional Home
By Marni Elyse Katz
For designer Mally Skok, the result in one Concord project is “a happy house with incredible art.”
Some designers prefer to start with a blank slate, but Mally Skok encourages her clients to reuse. “I like people’s journeys,” says the Lincoln-based interior designer. “I think it’s important that interiors be anchored in the lives of the families who live there.” This project is a perfect example.

Alice Denison: MetaFlor
Ed Stitt: Fenway and Beyond
February 6 – 28 at Gallery NAGA
Alice Denison continues her exploration of flowers by merging still life with pattern painting. Each painting depicts a large pitcher or urn floating in the center covered by densely layered flora and filigree. In the past, the main characters were always the flowers. In this new body of work, the vessel is the focus with the flowers in the supporting roles.
