Illumine Gallery opened in 2024 in Palm Springs' Uptown Design District, presenting emerging and established artists whose work is grounded in light, material, and form.
We focus on art with presence—work that brings clarity, warmth, and a sense of ease into the spaces it inhabits. Pieces chosen not only for how they read on the wall, but for how they live in a home.
Illumine occupies the space formerly home to Savage Gallery, founded by artist and curator Shawn Savage.
Having worked alongside Shawn, Stephanie carries that legacy forward —with renewed attention to thoughtful curation, the artists who defined it, and the collectors who believed in it.
Illumine participates in Modernism Week and Desert Open Studios, and welcomes visitors during both.
We work closely with collectors, designers, and consultants, offering guidance on placement, scale, and installation. Whether you are beginning a collection or expanding an existing one, we aim to make the process considered, approachable, and personal.
Art should move you. And the right piece—like light—should stay.
