Once Again, We Explore!
Last summer of 2020 the pandemic dampened the usual vacation glee and caused us to trade typical summer holidays for more low-key mini-escapes from the (home) office. We feel very fortunate to report that the summer of 2021's "new normal" has allowed many of us to dust off our bags and passports and once again set foot into the vast world of excursion.
Our team has been able to share many incredible summer memories and trips with our customers through a number of beautiful custom paintings that memorialize some pretty incredible trips.

We partnered with Tommy to turn his photos into custom paintings–three of his iconic shots are now available hand-painted.

The changing of seasons is a type of art in itself, a gift from Mother Nature we might say. For most of the world, aside from those locations which seem to pass time in a more flatlined way, our islands, Central America, and arctic regions, for example, the changing seasons bring about a change in color palette and mood.
