Created by gallerists Lisa Casoni and Heather Stobo, Beato Chocolates are an extension of their Porch Gallery, a showcase for renowned artists and a welcoming hub for Ojai’s creative community. Heather and Lisa have long admired Beatrice, the “Mama of Dada,” and her outspoken lust for life and her lustrously glazed ceramics. A fine artist who showed alongside her friend and colleague Marcel Duchamp, Beatrice helped define Dada, an avant-garde movement known for rule-breaking and irreverence. Ever idiosyncratic and passionate, she created works of wonder throughout her long life that continue to inspire.
