We’re excited to introduce a new artist to Laguna Art Advisory — Greg Urquhart. Greg’s work taps into something instantly recognizable yet deeply personal: nostalgia. Drawing from childhood toys and familiar symbols, his vibrant, pop art–inspired resin pieces revive the joy, simplicity, and imagination many of us remember—but rarely revisit. What makes Greg’s work stand out is the balance between bold, contemporary aesthetics and emotional resonance. Each piece feels playful at first glance, but lingers as something more reflective—inviting viewers to reconnect with their inner child and the shared experiences that shape us. In a world that moves fast, Greg’s work offers a moment to pause, remember, and feel. Now showing through Laguna Art Advisory. #ContemporaryArt #PopArt #ArtCollectors #LagunaArtAdvisory #EmergingArtists ArtWithMeaning

TGIF feat a custom Hello Kitty piece that @projectgworkshop hooked me up with for Coco’s birthday. I found the gently used figures online, gave him some inspo and my exact specifications for what order the figures were to stand in, and the color of resin I wanted…. and he took it from there. Now it has a permanent place on her new gallery wall. 🤩 #hellokitty

Mona Lisa or Hello Kitty - which do you prefer? DaVinci’s portrait like HK is instantly recognizable. Among scholars, the ML has significant artistic merits (DaVinci pioneered sfumato)…but most people are drawn to her mysterious gaze…is she happy or sad? By contrast HK has little artistic merit her face is made up of 3 circles and 6 lines…but she is happy - without a mouth even to smile! Unquestionably joyous!! There is neuroscience that explains what happens to our brains when we see something cute and hint…it’s all good! Because HK turned 50 and let’s just say, has been a lifetime friend, I wanted to commission an artist to elevate my childhood collection (that I gave to my niece and had to repurchase on eBay) to art. Thank you @projectgworkshop This piece brings great joy to me and our home! #fineart #artist #artistic #hellokittylover #hellokittyandfriends #interiordesigninspiration #interiordesigner #popart

An artist delivered this cuteness yesterday, which I commissioned for a small sliver of a wall in a bathroom. Completely smile worthy! @projectgworkshop #fineart #art #hellokittylover #clt #décor #nycinteriordesign #cltinteriordesign

Hello Kitty recently turned 50 and being a fan for life, I wanted to create something special. I reached out to an artist to collaborate and am excited that the work is almost finished. @projectgworkshop Looking forward to the big reveal! XOXO #fineart #hellokittylover #interiordesigners #interiordesign
