The Studio
In 1987 Allan created Expressive Design, Inc., an art based company featuring specialized art projects for residential and commercial clients globally. The completion of his studio in 2001 has led Allan further into his beloved art work and abstract painting. The unique and beautiful residential studio, filled with art and ambiance, is located in the historic and 'funky' First Ward area of Houston at 1402 Dart Street with a fantastic view of downtown from every level. The infamous art palette shaped pool, designed by the artist himself, is the talk-of-the-town!
