It only makes sense that Oakland, CA, artist Victoria Skirpa makes stunning sculptures and covetable jewelry from her one-bedroom apartment overlooking Lake Merritt. After all, the lake is known as "the jewel of Oakland," and Victoria's apartment, location, and beautiful jewelry (she's having a special invite-only sale this upcoming weekend) are all equally treasurable. When I visited her home, I was literally drooling over her crazy views, as well as her very cool vintage furniture finds, original artwork, and unbelievable closet space (I am incredibly envious of this last item).

What do you do when you've been priced out of your New York apartment? Well, if you're playwright Brooke Berman, you translate the unpleasant experience into artistic expression. Brooke, whose play “Hunting and Gathering” explores the subjects of home, transience, and character, was partially inspired by her experience of living in more than 30 homes in 20 years.
