Ray Hart’s style is poetic, open, somewhat surreal, and somewhat abstract. And his innate intent is to convey a sense of peace and tranquility through his art, and to share his celebration of good living. Within each painting, Ray invites the viewer to be a part of the art, and to bring forth their own interpretation.

We like things to be straightforward here at Three Stone Steps. We’re about having a thoughtfully curated collection of fairly made and sustainable handicrafts. Although our collection is primarily metal art from Haiti, we do, on occasion, offer goods from elsewhere, including textiles from Central Asia.
Simply put: We purchase our goods directly from the artisans who make them at a fair price and sell them to you at an equally fair price. Our collection isn’t huge. We feel strongly about being curators rather than aggregators. We only carry items that we’d feel good about displaying in our homes or giving as gifts.
We know our collection isn’t for everyone. But, if it appeals to you, we’re happy to have you along for this journey.
We make African print designs for both men and women to dress for office, casual and special occasions. Our styles mirror the African elegance while embracing the western charm.
Zachary Sasim (also known as Zakhar) has considered himself a painter most of his life. While working professionally for 12 years in Bulgaria, he gradually crafted a unique impressionistic style that is marked by wild and passionate play of colors and is created by combining traditional brush strokes and palette knife technique. Having moved to the United States from Bulgaria in 2004, Zachary has earned the recognition and the respect of the Washington DC community while working at Eastern Market . His bright and colorful paintings have found homes not only in numerous residential houses around the Greater Washington D.C area, but also in the federal government offices. Several United States senators and congressmen are among Zachary’s patrons.
Zachary produces two types of art work: Original paintings(oil and acrylic) and Giclée (enhanced print on canvas of his original paintings).
