Born in Memphis, Barry Dixon's work is influenced by a childhood spent in Pakistan, India, Korea, New Caledonia and South Africa. Now based on a 300-plus acre 1907 estate in Fauquier County, Virginia, near Washington, DC, he has created a line of furniture for Tomlinson/Erwin-Lambeth, accessories and furniture for Arteriors, fabrics and trim collections for Vervain, furniture and pendants for Avrett, and a paint line for C2 Paint in addition to serving as principal for his interior design firm.
A book-signing will follow the talk with BARRY DIXON INSPIRATIONS offered for sale with the proceeds benefitting Decorative Arts Trust.
Sounds wonderful! please report on the soiree.
ReplyDeleteAlthough the weather did not cooperate, Barry gave the most wonderful and inspiring talk. Illustrated with a barrage of gorgeous images, he presented his design philosophy in terms that would be useful to anyone. Almost two hours long, the time flew by with a fluid delivery infused with charm. If you ever have the opportunity, do not miss a presentation by Barry Dixon.
DeleteI wish I could attend John. Barry does beautiful interior design and furnishings!
