The Artwork

Made to
be kept

Finished by hand, made to be held.

More than
photographs

Every Opaline sitting ends in an object. Digital files come with the work; they aren't the work.

At your private viewing we design each piece with you, sized for the wall, the shelf or the hands it's meant for.
