STORY
In The Leslie, Charlotte Fonne creates an artwork that captures the architecture of one of Miami Beach’s iconic Art Deco hotels on Ocean Drive and its surroundings through her layered photographic technique. The fusion of the geometric architecture with carefully selected local elements, including palm tree leaves, umbrellas, beach cabanas, warm sand, and sun reflections in the ocean, forms a visual exploration rich in detail. A closer shot of the façade adds a graphic rhythm and yellow color in the sky. This fine art photography print celebrates Miami’s Art Deco heritage and the energy of South Beach.
Each image used to create this artwork is personally photographed by Charlotte Fonne, ensuring a genuine and unique piece.

Certificate of Authenticity
When you purchase a limited edition artwork with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA), you’re getting something truly special:
- Exclusivity and Value: Only a limited number of these pieces are ever made, making each one rare and unique. Owning such a piece not only sets it apart but also increases its value over time.
- Originality: The COA guarantees that your artwork is an original creation, not a mass-produced copy. It’s proof that you’re buying something directly crafted by my hand.
- Investment: As a collector, having a COA and a limited edition number gives your artwork credibility. With fewer copies available, the piece can hold or even increase in value over time.
- Personal Connection: Each piece is hand-signed and comes with a unique serial number, making your purchase feel more personal. You’re not just acquiring art—you’re owning a part of my creative journey.
