We were super excited when interior designer Paige Bowen approached us to provide art for the home of musicians Ashlee Simpson and Evan Ross. The couple recently launched their reality show Ashlee+Evan on E! and their home was featured in People Magazine. Check out some of the pieces we provided for their collection below!

The couple wanted to showcase artwork with a personal connection on their living room walls, including a self-portrait by their late family friend Michael Jackson and dozens of Ross’s own creations. “A lot of the stuff I create gets put on the [living room] wall,” says Ross, whose artistic medium varies from Sharpies to paints. “It’s part of my life.”Our house is about creativity,” says Ross, whose sketches of stars like Sammy Davis Jr. and his mother, Diana Ross, are displayed in the home. “I love to be inspired.”

Multi-media artist Javiera Estrada was born in Mexico in 1981 and moved to the United States in 1989. Her childhood was heavily influenced by her training in classical piano and violin, which continues to inspire her aesthetic today. She attended Santa Monica College and received her Certificate of Photography in 2009 where she was the recipient of a grant for an award of excellence. Javiera's most recent serie "Man vs. Nature" can be seen here in it's entirety. We hope you enjoy the sampling of images below.

"Man vs. Nature explores man’s historically sexist ways of viewing women and their bodies. We censor the natural beauty of nature and glorify man’s violent inventions. Guns and brutality are normalized, while a wholesome nipple is feared and shunned. Man is slowly overpowering all that is natural and pure. Hence, Man versus Nature examines the moral struggle between our organic natures

PurePhoto had the great pleasure of working with designers Paige Bowen and Kelly DiNisco of Abode Well to provide art for their room in the LA Sparks Summer Design House. The Los Angeles Sparks partnered with the Salvation Army's The Way In services to select six designers to decorate apartments in Hollywood for 16 former foster youth who, after aging out the system, found themselves homeless at 18. The apartments will be home to the youths who are currently employed, working towards their educational goals and on a path to self-sufficiency.

PurePhoto worked with artist Mike Kelley to donate three of his fine art photographs from his LA Airspace series to be permanently installed in one of the apartments. All of the furniture and accessories were donated and an open house for the players and designers was hosted on Friday, July 27th. We invite you to take a look at

Fine art photographer Paul Edmondson is well known for his stunning landscapes that have both minimal and graphic compositions with an emphasis on line, form, shape and color. He travels throughout the USA regularly with his camera in hand, and is drawn towards the places where humans and the natural environment intersect. Paul recently travelled to the Canadian province of Saskatchewan that borders the United States to the south. He returned with a gallery of stunning photos that can be seen here in it's entirety. We hope you enjoy the sampling of images below.

"In May of 2018 I decided to take a road trip through the southwest corner of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. I've always been fascinated by places that represent both the wild and human-altered elements, and Saskatchewan combines both of these characteristics in unique and visually powerful ways.

John Updike once said "The true New Yorker secretly believes that people living anywhere else have to be, in some sense, kidding." We totally agree but sometimes surviving this city is no joke. Our NYC-based art consultant curated a selection of PurePhoto images that are reminiscent of the fun, beauty and realness that is NYC and visual reminders of how to survive it all.
