Featured Artist Friday

Sedoni is Spiffing Up For Spring! We are reimagining our monthly

e-newsletter, blogging & ramping up our social media presence. Ins

pired by the Proust Questionnaire, we’ve asked some of our fa

vorite artists and designers

to participate in a little game of 20 questions. Every Friday we’ll be profiling a different artist and sharing their responses with you here. Get a glimpse into the artist’s mind; connect to the work we love and admire. Our 1st featured artist is Sarah Grant, the founder of whimsical furniture company, Sticks.

Sarah started Sticks in 1992; since then, Sticks has received national acclaim for their distinctive line of furniture, accessories and object art. Each piece i

s handcrafted in Sticks’ award winning studio in Des Moines, Iowa. All pieces are finely crafted from birch, poplar and driftwood, and then further designed with hand drawn imagery, etched contouring and vibrantly blended paint. They also offer an option to custom design

furniture to feature the imagery, wording and colors that you desire, creating an heirloom for generations to come.

Sedoni Gallery continually stocks a spectacular collection of furniture and accessories by Sticks and our team is always happy to help you design the piece of your dreams.
