ashley is based in the uk. give him a holler. he’ll create a sculpture especially for you.

each sculpture is about 20 inches tall. each is unique. customizable. terribly un-british.

Michele Oka Doner

an artist of the first caliber. i had the good fortune to meet her in 2017.

we need more like her. those who bring chic, elegance, and beauty to the world.

she does…both in presence and deed.

Floor Lamps

if you ask anyone, they’ll tell you that floor lamps are one of my least favorite design elements. i avoid them whenever possible.

but…i need a space — or a client — that needs a quirky, show-stopping, tony duquette-inspired floor lamp.

london born and based lynette yiadom boakye

paintings in the tradition of the vibrant mono-color of jacob lawrence, her 21st century translations are grand scaled with frank exuberant brushstrokes.

it’s said she finishes any given work in one day, hence its seeming lifelike impatience to engage and leap off the canvas

…i would own one of these (if they weren’t in museums)…
