Coco Myers

Coco Myers grew up in East Hampton among the Abstract Expressionists, many of whom were family friends. After earning a B.A. in art history at Princeton, she worked in Manhattan as a magazine editor and writer at Elle, Mirabella and Allure, later moving back to East Hampton to raise her three sons with her late husband, modern architect Daniel Rowen. She continued to write for Elle Decor, Martha Stewart Living, and The New York Times, among other publications), but eventually returned to her touchstone—the East End art world—and founded folioeast in 2015, an online gallery and art–consulting business.

Designed with the mission of highlighting the community of East End artists, folioeast has showcased the work of more than one hundred artists in venues as varied as Springs' iconic Ashawagh Hall and Robert Wilson's Watermill Center, as well as through collaborations with local galleries and interior design shop. Myers is on on the board of Wings Over Haiti, a non-profit organization raising money to build new schools. She organizes the annual Hamptons Artists for Haiti summer benefit, featuring an exhibit and auction comprised of East End artwork. She lives in East Hampton.
