You’ll also see an important collection by another close friend, Bob Glover, whose pieces live comfortably throughout the property as if they’ve always belonged.

Original ceramic sculptures by Gene Dodak are available for purchase. Commissions are welcomed, and we are pleased to collaborate on new pieces inspired by your vision and environment. Whether for a private residence, garden, or corporate setting, each work is approached as a dialogue between artist, client, and site, resulting in a piece that is both personal and enduring.

Our Bellardo offerings include a select group of original works, notably the iconic ceramic Sunfaces, each hand-pressed from Paul’s original molds dating to 1965. In addition, bronze reproductions of Eclipse and Bliss are available, together with a diverse collection of original monoprints that capture the energy and graphic strength of his imagery. Gene worked closely with Paul during the later years of his life, and before his passing Paul entrusted us with his brand, encouraging the continuation of his work and artistic legacy.

Modernism Week:
Art & Architecture Studio Tour

Modernism Week’s Art & Architecture Studio Tour offers a rare look inside the creative world of Palm Springs, where art and architecture have been intertwined since the 1920s. The legacy lives on through a vibrant community of artists, including ceramic artist Gene Dodak, whose work blends mid-century influence with a contemporary perspective.
This exclusive tour opens six private homes and working studios, giving visitors the opportunity to meet the artists, explore their spaces, and experience their work firsthand. Each home reflects a unique vision, combining thoughtful design with exceptional art.
If you find yourself inspired – or visiting the Palm Springs area, we invite you to contact us about a private tour of Gene Dodak’s studio, where you can view current works and available pieces. Experience desert modernism as it lives and evolves today.

Welcome to ʻOhana

ʻOhana is our 1958 mid-century Meiselman home in Palm Springs – a space built around the core values of family and belonging.
Owned by Art Strong and Gene Dodak, this property serves as both our personal residence and Gene’s creative sanctuary. Here, the gardens unfold as a series of outdoor rooms, where palms, plumeria, and sculptural elements blur the line between nature and architecture.
Throughout the home and grounds, you’ll find Gene’s ceramics alongside works by Paul Bellardo and Bob Glover – artists who are more than just influences; they are part of our extended ʻOhana.
