Anita Rogers Discusses Childcare with CNN

What it takes to be a $200,000-a-year Nanny

Child care positions aren’t usually thought of as high-paying jobs. But with wealthier families seeking nannies that are trained in newborn care, child development or languages, it’s becoming more common to see in-home caregivers earning six-figure salaries.

Marly Higgins Driskell is a certified master newborn care specialist in Houston.

In demand are top-tier, career nannies who have specializations, certifications and loads of experience.
“We’ve seen a lot of requests for Mandarin and French speakers in the nanny role,” says Keith Greenhouse, chief executive of the household staffing company Pavillion Agency. “Lately more than ever people want someone who is tech savvy and nannies who can move into a family assistant role.”
Such nannies work long hours or overnights and may even travel with the family. But they can make between $150,000 to $180,000 a year in places like New York or Los Angeles. Sometimes even more in the Bay Area.
“Families are paying over $220,000 a year in San Francisco,” says Anita Rogers, president and founder of British American Household Staffing. “There’s a value in paying well for your employees, especially in your household.”

Holly Hager Discusses Gloria Ortiz-Hernández’s Work in Art Zealous

Collecting 101: Why Art? Part II

Crossings #1 and #2 by Gloria Ortiz-Hernández.

Now take a look at the very same room after the art has been replaced with minimalist drawings by Gloria Ortiz-Hernández. They radically change the ambiance. Now the space says, “Calm down, relax, and rest.” The luscious depth of these drawings is like visual Xanax. The roundness of the forms is soft and comforting. There’s movement in these works, too, but it’s a languid migration that lulls the mind. Contemplating them is like watching the petals of a flower open or tracking the moon across the sky. No matter that there’s still sun pouring in the windows, doesn’t this image make you want to climb into it, lay down on the couch, and take a nap?

ArtNet News: 22 Unmissable Spring Gallery Shows in New York

Morgan O’Hara has been tracking how she spends each and every minute for the past 47 years, recording daily reports in small notebooks as part of an ongoing series called “Time Studies.” This careful documentation, complete with monthly summaries and annual reports, is being shown with the “Letter Press Editions” she has been making since 1978 and a selection of “Silverpoint Drawings” made on watercolor paper with black gesso. The artist also currently has solo shows in New York at Magdalena Keck through May 13 and at Mitchell Algus Gallery through June 2, collectively presenting six separate bodies of work.

Solo exhibition of works by George Negroponte on view at Anita Rogers Gallery

April 16, 2019

NEW YORK, NY.- Anita Rogers Gallery is presenting When Love Comes To Town, a solo exhibition of works by George Negroponte. On view are his mixed media paintings completed over the last several years using house paint, spackle, gesso, wallpaper, dirt, enamel, inventory circle labels, and spray paint on canvas, as well as found objects from the surrounding woods. Negroponte’s works on paper, first begun in Sweden in 2008, were set aside for a decade and resumed this past year in collaboration with his wife, Virva Hinnemo. These small and evocative compositions include truncated shapes, veil-like mists, vehement and nuanced marks, unusual color, and punctuated holes. While all the works are marked by an indeterminable amount of paint, some are diptychs with tree fragments and found objects. Negroponte takes pains to tackle the unlikely reconciliation of incongruent parts.

Warburg Realty Features Anita Rogers Gallery

The SoHo Gallery Scene

April 12th, 2019

Though many of SoHo’s art galleries have been replaced with shops during the past two decades, the neighborhood still has plenty to peruse, from multimedia installations to Photorealism masterworks, from graffiti art to rock-and-roll photography.

Figurative and abstract artists from the 20th and 21st centuries—emerging, midlevel, and posthumous—are the focus of Anita Rogers Gallery. “When Love Comes to Town,” an exhibit of recent drawings and paintings by abstract artist George Negroponte, runs through April 27. Beginning June 19 is a selection of films by artist/director James Scott, whose “A Shocking Accident” won the 1982 Oscar for Best Live-Action Short Film; works and recorded readings by David Hockney will complement the films. Solo shows featuring Morgan O’Hara, Robert Szot, and William Scott are also scheduled for later in 2019.

The Red Hook Star-Revue on Morgan O’Hara

“It’s hard to know where to start with the artist Morgan O’Hara. Since the late 70s, she’s drawn over 4,000 pieces from everyday life — dinner with some lively Italians, a Noam Chomsky lecture, a Taiwanese Lion Dance performance — works she calls “Live Transmission.” On first approach, you’ll see a condense fog of scribbles or a soft web of lines so threadbare to looks like lace. But picking a line (any line!) and following its curve and density, its meetings with the velocity of its neighbors, there’s the sensation of a time warp back to the present that O’Hara had once so intently observed.”
