The Key Collection explores ideas of travel and memory through oil pastel drawings of traditional hotel room keys. 

In a world filled with electronic keys and fobs, theres something undeniably romantic about being handed a distinctive metal key. The symbolic gesture of being handed a metal key upon arrival bridges the gap between foreign and familiar, and transports you to another world and another time, making the experience even more memorable. 

Beautiful in their own right, each pastel drawing isolates the subject from its context, it holds our full attention - bringing to mind an unrepeatable and cherished moment in time - a honeymoon, a favorite local landmark, a family vacation, a foreign home away from home, or spontaneous getaway. 

Each limited edition print is signed and numbered by the artist, Tess Ramirez.
