Featured Artist: Jan 17th at Relish Design

We are so excited to host Nancy Prior's prints at Relish from Jan 17 to Feb 17th!  Here is a snapshot of her series at the No 2 Print Shop in SE Portland.  From the moment I walked in the Open Studio tour last summer, I knew I had an artistic friend.

Instantly, I was drawn to the Antique Press they are known for, but seeing both adults and children make their version of art by using various cut-out shapes, objects, colors, tools and winding it through the press on the most beautiful paper.

Oh, I wish those days were still here again.  We look forward to sharing more about Nancy's artist open house reception mid February for the final week. 

Enjoy! trisha

Crafted Systems Wall Art + Will Paul Photography

It's January and I can't believe it.  We've had a number of featured artists the last few months, but these three stand out for me -- Crafted Systems wall art and vessels, Willy Paul etched photography on steel plates and his wife, Kris Paul, for her Japanese-inspired ceramics.

It's amazing how much work can go into the subtle details of a handmade piece.  To me, that makes all the difference vs a general shape that can be made by the thousands on an assembly line.

In summary, I feel it's the subtlety of simple things that make ALL the difference in design.

South African Interiors Inspiration

I recently spent 3 weeks in South Africa, starting in Cape Town and ending up near Johannesburg on Safari.  In short, I can't share everything yet, but I was tremendously inspired.  My greatest love is traveling to far away places, staying with locals and experiencing their food, design, inspiration and creativity from the cultural "styles" of a region.  I will be sharing bits and pieces over the next few months (i.e. as I go through the 2K photos!), starting today with this custom sofa company called Casamento at the Biscuit Mill.    Check out the various hand-made designs, many of which are completely one-off designs and each a little different.  Also, loved this threaded art from Erica Elk here.  Stay tuned for more in the following weeks!  cheers, trisha

Stubborn Works Jewelry at Relish!

We're happy to announce that we're featuring the beautiful work of local artist Melissa Stiles of Stubbornworks in the Relish showroom!

Come in to browse her unique collection of stainless steel and resin jewelry, cufflinks, and powder coated ornaments.

With a degree in architecture, her training is apparent in the clean lines and strong parameters of her work- all set in vibrant resin hues. Great for the Modernist who loves fun yet simplistic jewelry. One of my favorites- and local to boot!

Cheers, Carey
