These come from the estate of well known Ohio artist, Jon Wahling (1938-2020) whose works can be found in numerous public collections including The Columbus Museum of Art, Ohio Craft Museum, and the Ohio Arts Council. Extensive travel to Asia, Africa, and Europe influenced Jon's art as well as his personal collections. With an eye for design, an intense love of fabrics & texture, and an unparalleled respect for artisans the world over, his expertly curated home décor reflected a life well lived.
