opening reception. thursday, june 17th

"I have been creating art since I was five. At twelve, my walls became my canvas when I painted my room in oil paints. In university, my favorite project was building a human-sized bird’s nest…a subject that continues to inspire me for its beauty, fragility and strength. I have also created textiles for the interior design industry and worked as a commercial illustrator.

I am always refining my technique –layering different materials, seeing how they interact and complement one another, experimenting with the balance of colour and space. I apply layers of acrylics, oil stick, charcoal, vellum, glass paint and high gloss resin to the canvas. And, because I studied communications as well as visual arts, I like to infuse the written word into my paintings, using text and phrases in a cheeky manner to lend texture and levity to the work.

The result is an indulgent mix of texture, colour and cloaked messages, balanced and unusual.  The effect, hopefully, is evocative and playful."

we hope to see you here!

father's day ideas...

boxes and boxes of new things...this shipment is from sagaform: "one of the leading brands developing, distributing and marketing Nordic design. The company’s products are developed by leading designers based on genuine Swedish design tradition. A Sagaform product is an ideal gift – for someone else or yourself."

decanter with an oak stopper (this is one of our favourite tips a client told us about - you can leave this decanter out looking lovely and it won't get dusty inside because of the oak stopper!)

3 piece cocktail set

and these have always been a favourite, set of 6 whiskey glasses

just a few ideas, there's more to come...

p.s. if you need a father's day card come as soon as you can, they are flying out the door.

no vessel needs to be 'just' a vessel...

we're not the only ones who think so, so does pretty ms. russell.

is it just me - or does she kinda look like Feist?
