This pick has been the one I have worked the longest and hardest to secure. It has been a project for the past 2 years to bring it home. The best way I can explain seeing it finally come to fruition is with Lionel Richie’s iconic “Hello” as it has definitely been the pick I’ve been looking for!
This painting is done by one of my absolute favorite contemporary artists, Voka. Make sure to check out his amazing collection!
