THE ARTISTS
Sterling Crawford
B. 1997 | Born in Greenville, SC, living in Greenville, SC
A graduate of the College of Charleston with a degree in Finance (2019), Sterling has spent five years in accounting, while also growing her business as a professional artist. In 2023, she founded Stall Three Studio as a gallery to curate collections of contemporary fine art that are unique, timeless, and reflective of a thoughtful narrative. She values working closely with collectors to help them find pieces that resonate deeply and fulfill their collecting goals, and working with artists to help share their meanings.
Her artistic philosophy is driven by a belief in art’s ability to connect people across different backgrounds. Through her work, Sterling invites audiences to appreciate not only the beauty of art but also its power to bridge worlds and perspectives.
Laurel Holmes
B. 1964 | Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, living in Cape Town
Laurel Holmes is a Cape Town-based artist exploring themes of fragility and the natural world, drawing inspiration from her coastal surroundings. After leaving the corporate world in 2012, she relocated from Johannesburg to Cape Town in 2016 and studied under renowned South African artists. Working primarily in oil painting, she also explores wax encaustic, mixed media, and printmaking, participating in internships at Warren Editions and workshops at The Artists’ Press. She earned a postgraduate diploma in Fine Art from the University of Cape Town in 2021 and has since exhibited internationally, including at Art Basel Miami in 2022. Her work is held in private and institutional collections, including Spier Arts Trust and the University of Cape Town, and extends into commercial ventures, with a GIF owned by the Smithsonian and the V&A Museum.
Nkosinathi Thomas Ngulube
B. 1975 | Born in Baberton, South Africa, living in Cape Town
Nkosinathi Thomas Ngulube is a self-taught artist and leading gallerist whose work is deeply rooted in raw emotion, symbolism, and unconventional materials. Beginning with foraged objects in sculpture, his practice has evolved into a layered, textural exploration of painting on hessian fabric—born from both hardship and triumph. Rejecting traditional brushes, he applies paint with his fingers and tools, creating frenetic compositions filled with markings, mirrored text, and vernacular symbols that challenge viewers to engage in deeper conversation. His work navigates themes of identity, struggle, and resilience, reflecting his own journey of perseverance. Through his bold expressionism, Nathi transforms discarded materials into powerful narratives, embodying his belief in finding beauty within chaos.
