Frame It: Local Wall Art We Love

From drawing on cave walls to painting the roof of the Sistine Chapel — art has always been used to create a visual story. Today, it is still an integral part of life, bringing joy and adding character to our spaces. Hanging on a wall, placed on a side table, or stacked on a shelf, the right piece can transform a room and breath life into your home. We've gone art-diving and these local brands are all kinds of "stop and stare".
