"I don't fit in anywhere, I fit in a little everywhere."
Blake Barrios
Blake creates one-of-a-kind, hand-painted glass bottles using DecoColor oil paints, transforming each vessel into a singular work of art. Frequently collaborating with non-profit foundations, musicians, athletes, and vintners, Blake produces pieces designed to inspire and command the highest bidding from discerning connoisseurs and art critics alike. His work has been commissioned and collected by notable musicians including Snoop Dogg, Sir Paul McCartney, Carlos Santana, Lenny Kravitz, and others.
A philanthropist at heart, Blake gifts his artistic talents as artist in residence at the Napa River Ecology Center, where he mentors youth in the Teen Wild program, fostering creativity and environmental connection. His philanthropic collaborations extend to organizations such as Make a Wish Foundation, Cure Duchenne, Boys & Girls Club of America, and Make Yourself Foundation (promoted by the band Incubus) to name just a few.
Blake became an artist because he realized that he always experienced life visually and could conceptualize it through art. Alongside winemaker Jon Keyes, Blake continues to expand their shared vision by merging art and winemaking while deepening their commitment to charitable impact.
