Stacy Weiss: Shadyside, Pennsylvania

By creating areas within areas, Weiss makes the most of the 1500 square loft. A vintage Turkish rug defines the seating area and creates a comfortable spot for relaxing or entertaining, something Weiss enjoys quite a bit. The series of self portraits, painted over a twenty-year period, create a contemplative backdrop with colors that set the tone for the space.
