"It is a really serene, almost mirage-esque piece, like you're coming up on a little oasis from far away."
Collector Ali LaBelle's Artwork Oasis
We spoke with Creative Director Ali LaBelle about her art collection and creative inspiration! Ali collected "Date Palms in Cairo" by Delta Venus.
Where are you from?
California
What do you do?
I'm a creative director. Most of my work revolves around collaborating with artists, photographers, and writers to create products, campaigns, or experiences that tell stories. I love that process – piecing a project together as a team. When you can tap into a shared creative consciousness it's so gratifying to see it all come together in a meaningful way.
What Spacey artwork did you collect?
"Date Palms in Cairo" by Delta Venus. It is a really serene, almost mirage-esque piece, like you're coming up on a little oasis from far away. I used to get that feeling growing up when we'd drive to my grandparents' house in the California desert – you could see the date palms on the edge of Palm Springs from a couple of miles away after driving through dusty, brown sand dunes for a while, and this piece makes me nostalgic for that feeling.
Where did you hang your artwork?
Living room. I think Delta Venus' work is beautiful and I was so excited to have a piece of hers in my home. My goal is to build a gallery wall around this piece (when I finally get around to framing some other pieces!)
How does your piece make you feel?
Peaceful & Adventurous
