Handmade 9x12 Painting by Chris Clavelli
Value: $250
Handmade 9x12 Painting by Florida Rep Director and Ensemble Member Chris Clavelli.
From Chris: “I first started painting on breaks from my rehearsals directing FL Rep's Lend Me a Tenor in 2012. I'd eat a quick sandwich and then paint for an hour and then get back in the room for more directing. I found the louder and crazier the script the more I needed the comfort and solitude of the water colors. These sketches took on my room studies in the middle of the pandemic. We had just closed A Doll's House Part 2 before it saw an audience and my sadness at that loss was enormous and I just started painting rooms. At the time they were pretty dark. Recently, I have moved into much thicker and brighter tones. Each room is a fantasy set, a dream and a wish for a life surrounded by whimsy and free flowing furniture on mod rugs!”
Donated by Chris Clavelli.

Handcrafted Michael Aram Décor
Value: $800
Enjoy beautiful handcrafted Michael Aram décor pieces!
About Michael Aram: American artist Michael Aram studied art in New York in the late 1980s before traveling to India on an inspirational journey, where he discovered a rich metalworking tradition that inspired his turn toward handcrafted design.
Michael Aram established a home and workshop in New Delhi, where he began crafting objects ranging from tableware to furniture, all of which reflect the hand of the artisan. The tension of line, form, and meaning is a distinguishing characteristic of Aram's extraordinary designs, inspiring thoughtful appreciation and bringing a sense of ceremony in their day-to-day use. Each Michael Aram piece is handmade, so no two items are exactly alike. Donated by Clive Daniel Home.
