Our friends, who we traveled to Palm Springs with are big fans of the artist Shag. They have…read morenumerous pieces of his art throughout their home. When in Palm Springs they will always stop by his store/gallery, The Shag Store. If we are with them, we'll go also. We're not quiet the fans they are but we do enjoy his art, and we like to browse the store. On this occasion Shag himself was at the store. He was hosting a free cocktail party and meet and greet for anyone who stopped in. He was signing any pieces that fans brought in or bought. Our friends didn't bring anything, but they did purchase something and had him sign it so that was cool for them. Becky and I wandered around the store and took in the artwork while our friends enjoyed their meet and greet with Shag. I highly recommend The Shag Store when in Palm Springs. Even if you're not an "artsy" person, it's a rad spot. Check it out!

A kind, gentle man, Steve runs the gallery and we spent quite a bit of time chatting with him to learn about Nat and his art. I love everything mid-century modern vibe and you can't help but smile when gazing on the whimsy and color of Nat's art. I couldn't leave without something and ended up with a gorgeous tile to memorialize our stop. I would decorate my entire house with this art lol and am already looking where I can inject the joy the exudes from Nat Reed's pieces.

I personally found a few abstract paintings, along with colored glass vases to be items that could fit in many surroundings.
