The Wooden Hill to Bedfordshire
The Wooden Hill to Bedfordshire
Ian Price
$1,195.00


Dimensions: 40 x 11.5 x 1
Art Framed dimensions (H" x W"): 49" x 20.5"
Artist Statement: Drawing on the nostalgic phrase "up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire", a childhood saying first used in a letter to The Morning Advertiser in 1856, it is a British idiom for going upstairs to bed. The words conjure up a more innocent time, redolent of the yearning for home. In this image, the 'wooden hill' is made modern – with warm neutral tones of blond wood, flat planes and graduated shafts of light. This staircase curves intriguingly to the left, the destination is hidden and can only be guessed at.

Hines
$500.00


Dimensions: 11 x 14 x 1
Art Framed dimensions (H" x W"): 11" x 14"
Artist Statement: My photographic epiphany came when I realized that there were images that I wanted to photograph as references for my paintings, and others that were absolutely beautiful solely as photographs. At that moment I understand the dynamic potential of photography as another tool for myself expression.
In the Stillness I Am Home
In the Stillness I Am Home
Joyce Bell
$950.00


Dimensions: 20 x 40 x 1
Artist Statement: Home is not always a place. This image explores home as an inner experience—found within the self, in the recognition of love, and in moments of quiet belonging in the natural world. It reflects how identity, connection, and landscape shape the places where the heart comes to rest.

Dimensions: 14 x 11 x 1
Art Framed dimensions (H" x W"): 14" x 11"

At that moment I understand the dynamic potential of photography as another tool for myself expression.
Granny's Fruit Bowl (Cairn)
Granny's Fruit Bowl (Cairn)
Ian Price
$1,195.00


Dimensions: 40 x 18 x 1
Art Framed dimensions (H" x W"): 49" x 27"
Artist Statement: This image subverts a quintessentially vintage symbol of home life. Granny's Fruit Bowl may suggest nostalgia, comfort, warmth, and the 'good old days'. Especially in the case of mid-century kitchen decor, where fruit was widely used as a motif, particularly as plaster reliefs, or chalkware. This still life is a starkly contemporary interpretation of the genre, where fruit is hazardously stacked as a cairn – looking both succulent and precarious.
"If home is where the heart is, then laundry is where the love is"
"If home is where the heart is, then laundry is where the love is"
Linda Ruggieri
$3,700.00


Dimensions: 32 x 48 x 0.25
Artist Statement: This photo is a multi step process of sanding and pre-coating Dibond aluminum panels and then transferring an imaged film emulsion to the wet panel. A UV coating is later applied to preserve the image. It is composited with textures and grain, evoking imagery of my childhood, where flowing laundry in the yard was a constant literal reminder of home.
Vineyard Red-tail
Vineyard Red-tail
Bradain Bello
$1,400.00


Dimensions: 22 x 30 x 1
Art Framed dimensions (H" x W"): 24" x 32"
Artist Statement: Against a deeply cloudy sky, this red-tailed hawk is perched atop a vineyard fan. Used primarily for Californian citrus trees in the 1920s, frost fans were adopted by vineyards as a multifaceted replacement for smudge pots. Having been part of vineyards’ cultivated landscapes for around a century now, and grown up around them, these large pieces of equipment feel uniquely familiar.
Flowers and Floorboards
Flowers and Floorboards
Ian Price
$1,800.00


Dimensions: 30 x 30 x 1.5
Artist Statement: Flowers and floorboards: bringing the outside in. This work is about considering the outdoors as part of the indoors, making the natural world part of the constructed environment is a simple as gathering flowers from the garden. The work asks us to reflect on the transience of natural color, as compared with the chemical stains and treatments we apply to our homes.
Home Bookcase, Amsterdam
Home Bookcase, Amsterdam
Tom Minczeski
$195.00


Dimensions: 6.6 x 10 x 0.0125
Art Framed dimensions (H" x W"): 14" x 11"
Artist Statement: The rooms we occupy and live in become a reflection of who we are, almost from the moment we take possession of them. In the living room of an independent film director, the mementos and art, prints, photographs, and sketches that he has collected in his lifetime overwhelm the books in his bookcase, providing a glimpse into his soul.

Benjamin Miller
$330.00


Dimensions: 20 x 16 x 1
Art Framed dimensions (H" x W"): 24"x 20"
Artist Statement: In the quiet mountain town of Chefchaouen, Morocco, I wandered through a sea of quaint shops and homes—painted in shades of lapis, azure, and chalky white. And deep in the labyrinth I came across this beautiful arched entryway. I am fascinated by liminal spaces and viewing the world through portals.

Blue Porch from Fading Memories Series
Sonia Melnikova-Raich
$425.00


Dimensions: 12 x 16
Art Framed dimensions (H" x W"): 18" x 22"
Artist Statement: I draw inspiration from the Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi, with its reverence for the subtle beauty of aged things and their fleeting, transient nature. I am particularly captivated by the poetry and mystique of abandoned houses—their melancholic beauty and the memories that linger within them. Overgrown yards, dusty or broken windows, and the remnants left behind stand as silent witnesses to past lives, carrying their haunting presence and a quiet longing for life to return.
