Who we are
BEAUTY BELONGS IN THE EVERY DAY
We founded Gallery Soolip with a shared devotion to seeking out beauty, artisanship, and meaningful creative connection.
Originally brought to life in 1996 by Wanda Wen and Grant Forsberg, the first Gallery Soolip on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles was a celebration of artisanship, beauty, and the tactile poetry of the handmade. Reimagined for a new era, the gallery was relaunched by Wanda and their daughter, Simone, as a virtual platform that carries forward the spirit of the original while opening its doors to a wider world.
Together, we envisioned a modern venue that makes fine art accessible while honoring the integrity of each artist’s vision. We are passionate about championing emerging voices in contemporary art and guiding collectors to discover thoughtfully produced prints.
Meaningful relationships are at the core of each collection. Through close collaboration, exclusive pieces are hand-selected to represent each artist’s creative voice.
We believe that art enhances the rhythms of daily life. It inspires, uplifts, and deepens the way we see the world and connects us more closely to ourselves and to one another. We hope that what you find here enriches your experience of the world and the way you see and feel in your daily life.
