Artisanal pieces separate a home that stands out in all the right ways, from the one you forget the minute you leave.
Support Local Makers + Artisans
Relationships are everything in design. Here in the Berkshires, we build, nurture, and celebrate the artisans we want to work with again and again. They contribute something fresh and distinctive to our community. They’re also good people who create inspiring collaborations with their patrons.
Most of all, they're known for their out-of-box perspective and their gift for imparting that essence into each piece's DNA. It's the most enviable part of their talent. And something I look forward to sharing with you.
Personal Introductions, Private Studio Tours
There’s nothing quite like a meeting of the minds —especially when it plays out over a private viewing of an artists' work. If the art below resonates, I’ll break the ice (open the bubbly, and so forth).

abstract painter & Watercolorist
After a career as an Engineer working with Architects on multi-million dollar inner city redevelopments, Chris attended Chelsea Art School in London.
He was initially attracted to watercolors, (and still enjoys painting the Berkshire landscape), but over the course of his 40-year painting career, he’s been absorbed with creating Abstracts. He’s dedicated to providing works that enhance the lives of his patrons and provide some tranquility in stressful times.

CONTEMPORARY ABSTRACT PAINTER
Virginia’s paintings are about transformation – wrought in a crucible where materials, alchemy, physics, and chance wrestle and collaborate to culminate into a finished work of art. Layer upon layer is poured, sanded, and edited repeatedly. The process is intense – physical, active, and emotional.
Bradley received numerous prestigious painting fellowship awards. Her paintings are exhibited nationally and internationally and showcased in many public and private collections.
Before moving to the Berkshires, Bradley was a Professor of Art, teaching painting and drawing at the University of Delaware.
