Art Consultation & Acquisition
Does your home align with your values? Does your art spark curiosity, is it engaging and inspiring? Art that is made by hand is authentic, honest and ever-unfolding.
Asheville is one of those special places on the planet that attracts artists. It’s known around the world for its art scene. From the time of George Vanderbilt, Asheville has a long legacy of attracting artists and artisans.
You don’t go to one of our famous breweries and order a Budweiser, you want to be a part of the craft-beer community and order a local beer knowing it was made by people connected to the area and passionate about their work!
Local art is the same way. When you invest in a piece by an Asheville artist you are making your claim as part of the rhythm of our city and supporting that artist’s micro economy.
I believe in the powerful impact that original art has on spaces and the profound effect that meeting the artist has in connecting to a piece. I also know that it takes time and energy to find those artists and get to know their artwork, and I’ve done the research and cultivated relationships with some of the region’s leading artists whose lives and works are entwined with the place and people of Asheville – they are part of the history of art making in Asheville.
Artists who are hard-working, committed to making beautiful, engaging art that speaks to the majesty of Western North Carolina. Many works by these artists often aren’t seen in the galleries, but I know where to find them!
Consultation
$375
New to the scene or an avid collector, our art consulting services are tailored to all levels of enthusiasts. Beginning with an in-home consultation, I spend time assessing your current art collection and how it engages with your space. We discuss the feel, style, and experience you desire your home to portray. I recommend sizes and scales that make sense for your space. This is an enlightening process that will help you understand how to accentuate your current collection, explore your options for expanding your collection, and how to best showcase the pieces you love.
Following the consultation, I begin to curate your collection. I utilize my expertise in art and the strong relationships I have built with artists to source and recommend original pieces that will captivate you and your guests. I handle all negotiating, broker sales, acquisition, and the necessary framing that is needed to ensure your collection arrives promptly and is ready to be displayed.
