ALEVTINA GRISHINA

FURNITURE ARTIST & MAKER

I design and build collectible solid-wood furniture in my Florida studio. My practice centers on one-of-a-kind and commissioned console tables created as functional art.

Every piece begins with its architecture: scale, proportion, wood, and intended place in the home. From there, I develop the palette and imagery through botanical painting, natural-history motifs, sculptural relief, gilding, patina, and carefully chosen decorative materials.

Before establishing my studio, I spent fifteen years in veterinary medicine. That background shaped the patience, precision, and close observation of the natural world that now define my work.

THE WORK

Depending on the design, I work with hard maple, red oak, beech, walnut, poplar, and select pine. Some pieces are painted entirely by hand; others may incorporate textile or wallcovering inlay. Each table is individually built, finished, signed, and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.

My work is created in Florida and has found homes across the United States, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Canada. I welcome private commissions and collaborations with interior designers, galleries, and collectors.

Furniture should do more than occupy a space. It can hold memory, reflect a personal story, and become part of the life of a home.
