How did I find this GEM? Ask the universe. How have I not seen this 14 yr old shop in the heart of Kensington Market until today....I am not sure. But I feel very good about having discovered it.
Leo, the artist and owner creates his very spiritual art that not only is for the aesthetic value but it is designed with a purpose, to open your consciousness and possibly heal or help allow for personal transformation. Leo uses combinations of old pieces like window frames together with his paintings / drawings / 3D / and whatever he feels sends the universal message the best....Transformation and energy are key. He also uses giant crystals, Plates, Cards, Furniture, and many other kinds of canvases. I highly recommend visiting this GEM :) -

As I understand, two full time artists and one jewellery maker contribute to the wares available in this adorable and wonderous little shop.
The work is multimedia in nature. For example, old windows may be refashioned into frames, discarded furniture is rescued and turned into gorgeous centerpieces. Holographs, collages, decoupage, computer generated graphics, and delicate handpainting are all among the techniques employed by the artists.
Influences come from a wide range of energetic, spiritual, and metaphysical teachings including Ancient Greek, Hindu, and Buddhist in origin. The resulting images are always highly positive in nature.
This store is an excellent resource for one-of-a-kind gifts, works of art, and things of beauty. Prices range from $15 to $1000s, depending on the piece and medium.
Not to be passed up. This is truly one of the best finds in the city and I wish the owners every success.
