Whether you are staying in Palm Springs or in another area of California nearby then it is worth visiting the Heusso Gallery of contemporary, fun art. The gallery is located in the downtown area of Palm Springs and you will find lots of collectible articles and gifts as well as plenty of contemporary art.
Among the products that the gallery has to offer is fun cat posters and gifts, french dolls and raku pottery. The gallery also has an artist in residence and it is sometimes possible for visitors to meet with the artist. Current artists in residence are Steve Kaufman and David Sherer.
Heusso hosts an hilarious collection of cat and fish art and many of the cat posters are to be found in children's clinics and doctor's waiting rooms as they have been seen to have a positive effect on the kids. Heusso artists also make some hilarious ornamental painted fish and these can be seen in restaurant and fish shop windows throughout Palm Springs, the rest of California and even as far afield as New York. This art can also be seen in many accountants' and lawyers' professional offices. The posters come in a range of designs and sizes guaranteed to suit most pockets.
At Heusso you will also find a gallery of hand blown glass objects guaranteed to delight most people. Many of the posters start at $10 for an unframed copy and many of the designs are also available in postcard size or as fridge magnets for around $3.
