Bring Great Art into Your Space...



Art does not have to be expensive to add depth, character and beauty to any environment.  The key to a great collection is to choose an interesting mix of periods, mediums and subjects. 



I have been collecting for many years, and have found great pieces at estate sales, flea markets, street artists and even made a few myself!  



I simply love the work of Mark Rothko.  I am in awe of art that appears to be simple yet can fill a space with beauty...

Neutral Can Work...


I am always drawn to neutrals in photographs, but they don't always translate well to a "real" room.  The best way to make a neutral space work well is to utilize texture and tones of the color you love.  Gray, cream, white and brown all work well because of the textural quality....

Beautiful and Neutral

A beautiful and neutral palette makes me want to visit this space....they have successfully mixed in period pieces and brought a modern sensibility with the little details such as dentil moldings, a glass coffee table and a needlepoint pillow...delightful!

"Style isn't something you apply like hand cream. It comes from within, in an emanation from your own being. Life is the canvas and style is the grooming point of view"
