at Design House RI:
The 2026 Takeover.
From January through April 2026, BF Watercolors will be featured in a large-scale artistic residency at Design House in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. This exclusive four-month installation marks a significant milestone, with 33 original watercolor paintings meticulously curated to take over the walls and define the atmosphere of the entire showroom space.
Design House is Portsmouth’s premier upmarket interior design destination—a 3,500-square-foot collaborative environment where fine art, luxury furniture, and high-end architecture meet. This immersive exhibition offers a rare opportunity to see a massive, cohesive body of BF Watercolors’ work integrated into a sophisticated, lived-in setting, demonstrating the transformative power of art in home design.
The exhibition is further enhanced by the functional artistry of Mia Campopiano, a Newport-based interdisciplinary artist whose signature ceramics will be featured on the shelves throughout the space. Together, these works create a dialogue between bold wall-to-wall color and elegant, handcrafted form.
Location: 1050 E Main Rd, Portsmouth, RI 02871 On
View: January – April 2026
Experience the Takeover: Join us during showroom hours to witness this unprecedented installation and explore the latest collection of BF Watercolors in person.
