alizarin allure (74″ x 29″) the ‘Ridgway’ in the living room
I have to admit, the first time someone referred to a piece of my artwork as a ‘Ridgway’, it made me laugh. I had just finished installing the custom piece in the photo with the new owners, who already had several pieces of my work. The wife was so excited she said “Now we have a 'Ridgway' in the living room, a 'Ridgway' in the family room, and a 'Ridgway' in the dining room!” I realized it was a wonderful compliment of my art and how much she enjoyed having it in her home… and it made me smile.
So, I thought I’d start asking for photos of ‘Ridgway’ artwork in others collectors' homes. I love to see how people live with the art I've created. I am still honored and a bit amazed that people want to live with my art in their homes and see it every day. Thank you!
Here are some pictures of 'Ridgways' for you to enjoy. Most of these are not custom pieces ... that is for next time!
So, where is your 'Ridgway'? I'd love to see them. Click on my email address to send me a photo at Angela@AngelaRidgway.com or click here to post on my Facebook page.
crimson solace (35" x 18" x 35")
A collector in East Sacramento, California saw this at my studio while I was working on a large commissioned installation for him. Needless to say, the bell went home with him that day!

KPMG Consulting in downtown Sacramento, California is showcasing this piece in a beautiful art niche in the reception area.

sunlit serenity (11" x 11")
She is happy to finally get the art up in this cute couple's home in Sandy, Utah. They sent me these pictures of each of them in front of their 'Ridgway' wall. It's called this because he's my brother, and the photo collage at the top is of my father cutting metal and tools and equipment from his shop.

time weave (29" x 29"), engagement dogwoods (8" x 8"), and droplets (24" x 24")
I love new art collectors! A young lady bought time weave (left) as her first piece of original art. (What an honor for me.) And now, she and her husband have continued to put 'Ridgways' (and I'm sure other original art ) in their Sacramento, California home.
So, where is your 'Ridgway'?
