Gregory Hawthorne Original Fantasy Painting from Steve Chase Designed Residence
By Gregory Hawthorne, Steve Chase
Located in Palm Springs, CA
This beautiful painting by artist Gregory Hawthorn was from a art collectors Palm Springs estate. Mr. Hawthorne’s work was chosen for many interiors designed by the late, great Steve Chase.

Mr. hawthorns vintage work has become very sought after and collectible.
