Thrifted Thoughts: Wood Framed Loveseat

Thrifted Thoughts: Wood Framed Loveseat

By modnest on August 4, 2011

Just like I would have done, she revamped a bunch of the vintage pieces to make them work with the new design concept. My [...]

paintings from sean mahan

By Brittni Mehlhoff on July 19, 2010

Throughout the years, I have seen a lot of artwork on wood: paintings on wood panels, wood boxes, and plywood sheets. But I have seen very few artists actually use the woodgrain to their advantage. And certainly no others whose work resembles that of Jacksonville, Florida artist Sean Mahan. His paintings frequently include vast, unprimed [...]
