Sitting in FourBarrel Coffee on a cloudy San Francisco morning sipping coffee in her overalls, long hair flowing over her shoulders, Aleksandra Zee looks like any other hip Mission dweller — until she explains her vocation. “A lady woodworker is definitely tough as nails, because men are thought of as woodworkers,” says Zee, 29. Zee honed her craft as a full-time installation artist for Anthropologie for two years starting in 2008, building giant wood installations, tables, cabinets and light fixtures. In August, she had a solo exhibition, “Sea Salt,” at Rare Device. Zee’s artistic style is recognizable for its geometric designs and Southwestern-colored wood stains. “The desert is where I draw a lot of my inspiration — the color scheme and the textiles, artisans, the history,” she says. If people were tearing down houses, I have friends send me pictures of piles of torn-out construction. During the past year, Zee’s status as a sought-after artisan (and blog subject) has shot up because of her dreamy Instagram feed featuring photos of her artwork, road trips and an effortlessly decorated Mission apartment where she lives with her wild-haired musician boyfriend, Antrom Kury, and a dog named Jack. Zee grew up in the small coastal community of Dana Point (Orange County). After college she loaded up her Jeep, headed north and never looked back. [...] the increase in tech money has also meant new customers who have kept Zee busy with requests for custom pieces.

Capturing the ethereal transition from day to night, this exquisite print invites viewers to bask in the serene beauty of Ardtun Bay at the cusp of dusk. In the Art Nouveau style, the piece is a symphony of elongated forms and elegant, sinuous lines that harmonise with the natural environment, evoking a sense of tranquillity and romanticism. The composition is bathed in a palette of purples, blues, and ochres, reflecting the last golden rays of the sun as it dips below the horizon, casting its warmth over the calm waters. The bay itself is rendered in gentle hues, with reflections of the sunset and distinctive vertical elements that seem to dance on the water's surface, suggesting reeds or perhaps the organic motifs characteristic of the Art Nouveau movement. In the foreground, waterlilies with their rounded leaves and softly glowing blossoms draw the eye, creating a sense of depth and foreground against the liquid expanse. Furthermore, the silhouette of a cozy dwelling perched on the rocky shore, flanked by elegant trees against the twilight, portrays a peaceful isolation, inviting contemplation of nature's beauty. The distant hills provide a backdrop of subtle gradients, further enhancing the stillness of the bay. As a piece within the 'Scottish Coves' collection, this print celebrates the unique charm of Scotland's coastal landscapes, offering an artful tribute that will allure connoisseurs and admirers of both nature and artful representation. It is a perfect addition to any space that seeks to evoke a sense of calm and the timelessness of nature's allure.
