Still Life
Mixed media on canvas

JOE'S FAVORITE
Still Life by Mersuka Dopazo
"When sourcing artwork for clients (or even for my own home!) I look for pieces that do more than decorate. I like when artwork complements the aesthetic of a space, but I LOVE when a piece has the power to transform an entire interior. Mersuka’s use of mixed media brings a depth and texture to a space that pulls the viewer in, creating an inviting atmosphere. Large-scale pieces like this one command attention and provide a focal point for a space while the vibrant, happy colors instantly lift the mood."

CATHERINE'S FAVORITE
Confidence by Didem Yagci
"Didem Yagci's wall sculpture is beautiful. The movement and delicate texture is mesmerizing and the unexpected color is the perfect dose for someone who is color shy!"

After The Faded Sun Has Set by Aron Hill
"I am drawn to Aron Hill's minimalist work as it harkens to the simplicity of works such as Matisse's cut outs. While using acrylic as his medium, these works seem to leap off the canvas and I find them incredibly inviting in their offering of graphic representations of natural references. This piece in particular takes me to the moment the sun sinks below the ocean horizon after a day at the beach. Who would not want to look at that each day!"

MELISSA'S FAVORITE
Garden Party by Sherri Belassen
"I have really been leaning into colorful art lately — it's such a fun way to bring color and a playful element in the room. Garden Party by Sherri Belassen is such a fun vibe and I love the play on perspective."
Dennis Sheehan
Morning Reflection

CHRISTIAN'S FAVORITE
Morning Reflection by Dennis Sheehan
"I love Dennis Sheehan’s ability to capture atmosphere and mood with such depth. His mastery of light and shadow creates an ethereal quality that feels both tranquil and immersive. It’s like a real memory of a dreamlike summer morning—I can actually smell the air. This piece invites quiet reflection and lingers in the mind long after you’ve looked away."

EMILIE'S FAVORITE
Miss a Thing 7 by Gavin Benjamin
"I love Benjamin's work because of the colors and mixed media he uses ; his pieces always have such depth and energy. Miss A Thing 7 is one of my favorites because of how the colors of the flowers complement the color of the background, and it's such a modern take on typical silhouette portraiture. Plus it's huge, so it would make an amazing statement piece!"

MARGUERITE'S FAVORITE
Morning on the Grand Canal by Tom Chambers
"When I first viewed this photograph I thought that it was a painting. I find it to be romantic, magical and thought provoking...Who is the woman and what is she thinking? Is she alone or with someone in another boat? Is she enjoying a peaceful moment or contemplating jumping in? I love that it would stimulate ones dreams, fantasies and desires and encourage conversations. The scale allows it to carry a room, and I would be thrilled to place in one of our projects."
MARGERY'S FAVORITE
Meadows by Paul Balmer
Oil on panel
30 x 30 inches
"What I love about Paul Balmer’s work is that each piece reminds me of a place that I’ve visited. This particular piece reminds me of many trips across the U.S. where the peaceful sunlight reflects on the meadow just right and brings out all the beautiful and vibrant tones of nature. I want to walk into his art and see what’s there on that distant hillside."

Midnight Target by Tom Bolles
Midnight Target
Mixed media on canvas with LED
66 x 66 inches
“I haven’t stopped thinking about Midnight Target by Tom Bolles since I saw it at the gallery in 2022. It literally stopped me in my tracks. The backlighting achieves a calming and peaceful effect, while the circular composition draws you in.”
