About Us
Aliso Editions is a fine art print & multiples publisher based in Los Angeles & NEW YORK.
El Aliso was an ancient sycamore tree that towered over the landscape of early Los Angeles for nearly 400 years, ultimately measuring 60 feet tall with a canopy spreading nearly 200 feet from tip to tip. In a landscape virtually free of permanent structures, the Aliso tree would have been visible for a great distance and a constant unit of measurement on the pre-LA horizon.
In the spirit of our namesake, and with the aim of broadening perspectives in our shared landscape, we produce prints and multiples to increase the creative scope of artists' work and expand its reach.
