    AshesandMilk.com

    RISING FROM ASHES When a picture on Flickr led to the first sale of Nikko Moy’s sculptural wall hanging, the realization hit her: People will buy fine art on the Internet without seeing it in person. Moy likens her recently launched site, AshesandMilk.com, to an Etsy for fine art, except that she curates the collection from her Logan Square digs. “I have to personally love it and want it in my home,” she says. Featuring pieces by about 16 relatively under-the-radar artists around the world—some she’s met in person while traveling and others she’s discovered online—the gallery reflects Moy’s penchant for mostly monotone, textural work, often natural in both aesthetic and material. Items range from delicately sketched-upon stones ($30–$100) to abstract graphite drawings ($325–$450) to ceramic mugs with hand-painted birds ($180); locally made items include the Mighty Bearcats’ soft rubber vases and Dustin Yager’s minimally graphic porcelain vessels and mugs.
