This week in Faces of Kingston we speak to fine jeweler Rebecca Peacock about local inspirations and special aesthetics of the Hudson Valley and various facets of Kingston life past and present

This week in Faces of Kingston it was a pleasure to catch up with local MaryAnna Fitzgerald, an old friend. She has just opened Uptown Hair Studio and uses low-tox hair color and all-natural hair products.

This week for Faces of Kingston I am pleased to present a discussion with Hillary Harvey, a leading light in both community discourse and general good energy. 

Matthew Pleva has both a recognizable face to many in Kingston and a portfolio of memorable, creative work that’s some of the best stuff Kingston has to offer. Pleva is a very interesting guy and it was a pleasure to get to interview him after having it on my “must do” list for a few years now.

This week for a special Faces of Kingston, I was pleased to chat with popular media personality, entertainer and all around good pet mom and rock ’n’ roll local MK Burnell. Let’s get right to it. 

Faces of Kingston’s objective is to get chatty with a different person from the community every week, in hopes that we all get to know one another a little better. This week we talk to five-year resident Daniel Rhinier on making the best life you can out of where you are, uplifting the arts and more.

I recently became casually acquainted with the outspoken and quite busy Ethan Scott Barnett, often found passionately chatting with a wide array of people around our city at night, and I suspected a great interview subject as well as interesting human had been found. Thank you to Ethan for taking time and agreeing to be this week’s Faces of Kingston subject.

This week for Faces of Kingston we are going to talk to someone I always see out really participating in the Kingston community. Whether telling stories about Kingston, dreaming up delicious menu items or making new friends, Diego’s Taqueria co-owner Isaac Cruz plays a big role in making our area a better place. 

For this week’s Faces of Kingston we talk to one of the chillest people in all Kingston, Jess Edelman. A licensed massage therapist at Birch Body Care, she is a warm and vibrant presence who’s deeply appreciated by many in the community.
