Katherine Bernhardt is known for paintings that merge commercial motifs and imagery from everyday life with loose, expressive mark-making.

Rather than treating these images as symbols to decode, Bernhardt approaches iconography as material to play with, reframe, and exhaust.

These days, the notion of Spring Cleaning applies more to tasks like purging your closets or scrubbing the floors: the really time-sucking, dirty jobs that you put off doing as long as possible.  I think I can speak for the majority though when I say that — in the past two years especially — day-to-day cleaning is what is on everyone’s mind. Most importantly, from wiping-down counter tops to being extra vigilant about washing your hands, we look for products that clean effectively, are gentle on the skin, and are made from natural ingredients wherever possible. There could not be a better time than now to introduce you to the Hand over Heart line of household cleaning essentials.
