Over the course of about a year, I had the pleasure of working with a lovely client in Pennsylvania to curate art for multiple areas of her newly built, luxury home. After discovering both my paintings and fiber art online, she knew I would be able to meet her need for multiple pieces of art that all speak the same visual language.
Goals
Curating artwork in multiple mediums that would complement the luxury, natural finishes of her newly built home, while meeting the size and use needs of each room. Her interior design style can be described as Organic Modern Glam. Think: textured neutrals, natural wood tones, and hints of gold and crystal.
Process
A neutral pallet with rich texture and dynamic mark making was selected. Working room to room, we collaborated on the selection or customization of paintings and fiber art that communicated harmony, visual interest, and luxe tactility. Through digital sketches and progress photos feedback was shared to achieve the ideal outcome for each piece. I have completed 7 pieces for her to date.
Working on a rolling schedule like this has multiple benefits. Seeing a space fully completed builds momentum and informs the styling of the next room, but from a practical standpoint it breaks up the unsexy financial part of investing in your home.
Experience
My client's background in interior design was instrumental in her cohesive vision and decisive selections. Having a strong understanding of the story you’re telling always helps when sourcing multiple pieces of art for a space. Like myself, she is an upfront communicator, which is essential when commissioning custom art, since she’s the one that will be living with the work!
