The artist
Nothing here is a postcard.
Ebony Daffey doesn't paint places. She paints the hour you'd go back for. Four o'clock in Positano when the light goes stupid. Chilli salt on a glass rim somewhere in Mexico. Octopus swinging over the water at Ammoudi while the whole bay does nothing in particular. She takes barely any photos — she'd rather remember it wrong and paint that instead.
So half of this is real and half of it never happened, and she's not fussed which is which. Bambi the dachshund has ordered her own martini and is not sharing it. A surfer is carving grooves into a spinning record. If it makes her laugh in the studio, it goes on the wall.
The work lands in small drops, whenever a trip or an idea won't leave her alone. No calendar, no seasonal ranges, no filler. Ten pieces she'd hang in her own place beats a hundred she wouldn't.
Ebony builds each design using AI image tools as her brush, then curates, refines and finishes every piece by hand. You should know how the work is made.
