Two Artists Make a Gallery of Their Home In Upstate New York


When sculptor Rodger Stevens and illustrator Johanna Goodman relocated from Brooklyn to a new-construction craftsman in Nyack, NY, they opted to paint each of the home’s rooms a stark, bright white. “When Rodger was buying the paint, the salesman asked if we were painting a hospital,” Johanna jokes. Although an unadulterated white is typically the purview of hardcore minimalists (and, yes, healthcare facilities), the intention here was quite different. In addition to acting as a stage for the daily lives of Rodger, Johanna, and their two children, the home does triple-duty as a studio and a gallery for the couple’s massive collection of artwork. Hung in a salon style, the pieces (either inherited, found, or made by Rodger and Johanna) fill practically every inch of wall space in the home. A brilliant explosion of color and texture with hardly a spare piece of white to be seen, the home is a veritable treasure trove of inspiration, life, and love—and anything but stark. —Max
