Ira Yeager is a world class painter from Northern California, still living in the 17 century, and usually signs his work under different aliases! Ira is my mom's best friend and is the wildest eccentric i know, with a mad mane of hair and a permanently raised brow. His paintings are highly imaginative + magical, and adorn the walls of both the Salon + Sip Shoppe as if they were the jewels of a queen.
