Summary

Celebrate the things that truly matter.

Don’t be surprised, as you begin piecing it together, to find yourself in a state of engaged curiosity. The rings, the hands, the bundle of sticks (you’ll find that one on the back of a Liberty dime), all under the watchful Eye of Providence: Is it a puzzle, or a message?

Author Biography

John Derian is an artist and designer who transforms printed images from the past, and in doing so transports the viewer to another world.

His designs are sold at upscale home stores, in catalogs, and at gift shops worldwide, and he has designed exclusive collections for Cisco Brothers, Astier de Villatte, Target, and more. His retail shops, studio, and homes have been featured in Vogue, T: The New York Times Style Magazine, The World of Interiors, Elle Decor, and Vanity Fair, among others.
