Art Consultation & Acquisition
Does your home reflect your values? Does your art collection evoke curiosity and inspiration? Handcrafted art offers an authentic and continually unfolding narrative.
Asheville stands as a beacon for artists worldwide, boasting a rich heritage of creativity. Since the era of George Vanderbilt, our city has magnetized artisans, cultivating a vibrant and esteemed art scene. 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! Discerning art enthusiasts appreciate the value of acquiring art deeply rooted in our community’s culture and passion.Investing in local Asheville artistry not only enriches your space but also integrates you into the city’s cultural tapestry, supporting the livelihoods of dedicated artisans. At Jennifer Smith Design, we recognize the transformative power of original art and the profound connection fostered through personal engagement with the artists. We have invested time and expertise to cultivate relationships with Asheville’s foremost artists, whose works are deeply interwoven with the region’s heritage and community. 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!

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.
