I first heard about local Ottawa artist Whitney Lewis-Smith through my favourite Ottawa interior designer Henrietta Southam. I won’t go into the details of her photographic art – you can read about it here and PLEASE watch this video. These photos from her portfolio speak volumes. I’d loooooooooove to have one of these hanging in my house.
Henrietta has a piece hanging in her new dining room:
Jenny Andrews Anderson. You need to know that name if you have eyeballs and appreciate art (and comedy – her IG stories are f*cking hilarious). She has been an online friend of mine for many years and I’m always stoked to see her art collections taking new twists and turns. Lately she’s been into mixed media collages and they are GORG. See for yourself….here’s a sneak peak of ones that will be available on Sept 1 (unless you signed up for her newsletter then you get first dibs early).
How cool is this chandelier?! Dram is a light sculpture composed of 120 vintage tumblers and drinking glasses from the 1960’s and 70’s. Each glass, imbued with a history of domestic use, contributes its unique qualities to the whole. Dram pays homage to the barely noticed beauty of everyday objects. By Vancouver firm Propellor.
I was searching for bathroom lighting as I have a renovation I need to start soon and came across the talented lighting designer Matthew McCormick from Vancouver. Love these!
Barry Edge is a landscape, product and botanical photographer who reached out about his new Etsy shop. His photos are stunning! I wish I had some empty wall space, because a wall filled with a grid of these prints would be glorious.
