Upcoming Artwork Releases (Winter 2022)

Been busy in the studio lately! I’m gearing up to release a bunch of artwork. Here are two ways to purchase in the next few months.

If you’re in the market for a smaller piece (10x10”), I’ll have a few options for the holidays: Three different designs; each one an edition of 10. They’ll be available here on my website at 10am PST on Wednesday, Nov 30. They’ll ship Dec 12.

If you’re looking for something big and unique, stay tuned for my solo show at Heron Arts in late February. I’m making a whole bunch of new works for it. The opening is Sat, Feb 25, but if you’re interested in purchasing, you’ll want to get on the gallery’s preview list ahead of time. Email Heron Arts if interested.

Where to Shop This Winter

UPDATE: Due to the Stay-at-Home order, we have decided to cancel the Sidewalk Sale. Stay tuned for other ways to see new art and shop!]

Two options for how to shop this holiday season: online and in San Francisco!

Shop online: I’ll be doing a shop update at 12pm PST on Tuesday, December 1st. Last time, most items sold within a few minutes, so mark your calendars and perhaps consider setting an alarm.

[CANCELLED!] Shop in person in SF: I’ll be doing an outdoor, masked, distanced show with my studio neighbor, Yonder Shop! Come see new art in my windows, and then swing next door to shop Yonder’s gorgeous ceramics and other thoughtfully curated goods. Weather permitting; masks required.

Elektra Steel's First Stockist: Paxton Gate

I'm excited to announce that my dodecahedron floor lamp is now available for purchase at Paxton Gate, both online and at their retail location in San Francisco's Mission District.

The dodecahedron floor lamp, nestled amongst feathers, eggs, terrariums, and other curiosities at Paxton Gate in San Francisco.

If you've ever strolled down Valencia Street, I'm sure you've noticed their striking window displays. They specialize in taxidermy, skeletons, rare insects, exotic plants, and succulents: "treasures and oddities inspired by the garden and natural sciences," in their words. Totally up my alley.

Another shot of the lamp.

Paxton Gate has actually been one of my favorite stores since I was in ninth grade -- I would occasionally stop to explore their charming and macabre curiosities on my way home from high school. So, you can imagine how excited I am to have them as my very first stockist!

I recently got introduced to Paxton Gate by my friends Vinit and Spencer at The Pricerie. The Pricerie's mission is to connect makers with appraisers in order to help them price their work. This is a much-needed service, in my opinion: every artist and maker I've talked to has struggled with pricing.

Anyway, I submitted my geo planter to be priced, and one of the five expert appraisers they matched me with was Michael Levy, Creative & Operations Director at Paxton Gate. He saw some of my other work, asked Vinit and Spencer for an intro, and the rest is history.
