EUROPEAN-INSPIRED ARTISTRY with Southern Charm
The Heart Behind La Costiera Galleria“Art has the ability to elevate a space, enrich the human experience and create lasting connection. For me, creating art is both a calling and a purpose.”
— Joshua French
A LIFELONG DEVOTION to Classical Art
La Costiera Galleria was founded by Joshua and Trish French, a husband-and-wife team with deep roots along the Florida Panhandle and a shared devotion to timeless artistry, color theory and refined interior design. Inspired by years of global travel and a lifelong connection to the Emerald Coast, they envisioned something far more intimate than a traditional gallery - a Private Art Concierge experience that blends European elegance with the warmth of Southern charm.
Together, they created La Costiera Galleria on the belief that art becomes the soul of a home - intentional, personal and beautifully integrated into the spaces it inhabits. Each piece is meant to elevate a room, capture the eye and become a meaningful part of your family’s story.
FROM GIFTED HANDS to Timeless Mastery
Joshua’s journey as a master artist began at just three years old, when his extraordinary gift for drawing became undeniable. Over the past three decades, he has refined his craft through disciplined study of the brilliant European masters, Monet, Michelangelo and da Vinci, immersing himself in classical techniques and compositions. His fascination with the human form, paired with a deep understanding of anatomy, structure, and the interplay of light and shadow, brings depth, harmony and timeless beauty to every piece he creates.
His artistic development was further shaped by early immersion in the world of ultra-luxury design. Raised by parents who owned a prestigious interior design firm, Joshua learned how color, texture and form work together within grand estates and high-end resorts. His father’s teachings in Feng Shui deepened his understanding of balance and energy, a philosophy that continues to guide his artwork and design approach.
Beyond the studio, Joshua’s leadership experience managing one of the nation’s top-rated Painting with a Twist studios strengthened his ability to connect art with experience, where he trained artists and guided thousands of guests through joyful, memorable experiences. These years strengthened his connection to community and reinforced a core belief shared by Joshua and Trish: Art should not only inspire, it should connect, uplift and be experienced.
Building on this philosophy, they launched Mobile Monet 30A, an up-scale paint party experience that brings creativity directly to private homes. Designed for private gatherings, coastal soirées and meaningful celebrations on 30A, making art personal, fun and unforgettable.
THE HEART & VISION Behind La Costiera Galleria
While Joshua brings decades of traditional mastery to the canvas, Trish is the heart and guiding vision behind the experience of La Costiera Galleria.
The gallery is a natural extension of her lifelong calling: to uplift, inspire and create beauty that feels deeply meaningful - both in the homes it fills and within the community she loves.
Before co-founding the gallery, Trish devoted 20 years to her private therapy practice and transformational retreats, walking individuals through the most defining seasons of their lives and helping them find healing, clarity and renewed purpose. She worked closely with high-profile and ultra-wealthy clients, offering discretion, wisdom and guidance during deeply personal chapters. Through this work, she gained a rare understanding of trust, the needs and desires of affluent clientele and the refined expectations that accompany exceptional service. Recognizing what matters most, honoring privacy and delivering an expert level of care that is both specialized and truly valuable. Those same standards of compassion and emotional intelligence now shape the gallery’s client experience.
At La Costiera Galleria, Trish is often the first point of contact, leading gallery management, client relations and brand vision. From the thoughtful design of each collection to the elevated level of care, her role is to ensure every detail reflects the refinement and white-glove service the gallery is known for.
She believes art should always be personal, never transactional. With the understanding that artwork creates the soul of a home, each piece should be deeply aligned with the natural flow of the owners, allowing a space to truly come alive.
Born and raised here, Trish found her way back to 30A after many years of dedicated to her private practice. The small-town charm, the strong sense of community and the desire to create something impactful drew her back to the Emerald Coast. Faith, wellness and meaningful relationships remain central to her life, and that warmth naturally shows up in the way she builds trust and connection with others.
Over the past decade, Trish and Joshua traveled extensively throughout the world, falling in love with extraordinary art, architecture and the beauty of old European cities. These experiences profoundly shaped the ideals and vision behind La Costiera Galleria and continue to influence everything from the soft florals to raw illustrations capturing local wildlife and the timeless architectural collections you see today. Together, they bring expertise in creating visual impact for ultra-luxury homes and grand estates.
Outside the gallery, Trish’s life is a blend of wellness, spirituality and a lifelong passion with dance, balanced with hiking in nature and enjoying the beaches along the Emerald Coast. A forever Seminole, she was also an FSU cheerleader during the iconic Bobby Bowden era.
Trish and Joshua have established 30A’s first Private Art Concierge, a personalized experience thoughtfully designed for those who value beauty, elegance and a level of care that feels both refined and deeply personal. Rather than visiting a gallery, clients enjoy the convenience and intimacy of having the gallery brought directly to them. Whether in their home, office or private estate, they are ready to deliver museum-quality masterpieces with intention and care.
