I love art… I love finding art, viewing art, discussing art and collecting art. And while I do not have unlimited resources to fund my love of art, the talents of so many artists are simply astounding and the impact of their works can drastically change a space. When designing with artistic pieces, you can set the tone of a room, use it to bring a touch of personality or even add a strong contrast. To me, colorful art inspires such joy and integrating splashes of this artistic expression into my home helps to set the backdrop for the joyful life I aim to live.
