Welcome, perceptive friend.
I am Bleeker Garfield, Director of the P. Pleasant Atelier. Our core tenet is that magic lives in the unexpected. To this end, we offer whimsical art and rare goods created by the preeminent fae artist, P. Pleasant. These treasures are designed to be hidden in plain sight, waiting to surprise and delight anyone who happens upon them. Take a breath, let go of your expectations, and step inside. Everyone deserves a bit of magic.
The Artist, P. Pleasant
P. Pleasant is an artist of extraordinary, albeit hidden, renown. She has been a household name throughout the international magical community for...well...a very long time. Young magical creatures study her techniques, and her masterpieces adorn the walls (or ceilings, as is the custom at the Spector and Ghoul Contemporary Art Museum in Bruges) of every major museums in our world.
She is also a fairy. Yes, a real fairy that lives in the midst of human civilization. P and her circle of magical folk belong to a sect called Aonaran Fae. Think less mischievous sprite that ruins your crops and more curious compatriot who finds people most intriguing. For a more detailed account of P and her fae ilk, please read Philonious's exhaustive account about their kind.
From Arcane Vaults to Trustworthy Mortal Hands
For many years, P only allowed magical folk to own or place her creations. As you know, magical beings mostly avoid humans, so selling to mortals seemed like a risky and logistical nightmare. But over time, P began to change her mind. During her extraordinary adventures and far-flung travels, she continued to encountered an increasing number of observant humans. These perceptive mortals were delighted by whimsical treasures that were secreted away in plain sight. Therefore, as P looked forward to the next chapter of her career, she decided to allow trustworthy, discerning people to acquire her whimsical art and rare goods. It is her hope that mortals like you will install these treasures in an unconventional way that delights you. This way, humans will have the rare privilege of creating unexpected magical experiences for someone else to discover.
A New Chapter in the Human Realm
To bridge the gap between the fae and human worlds, we currently utilize this digital storefront while we construct P's first mortal-facing art gallery and studio in South Minneapolis. Until then, we invite you to explore our digital archives. Become a patron of fairy culture, let go of your expectations, and help us spread a little joy. Look closer, magic lives in the unexpected.
