When you’re looking for the ideal piece of artwork for a space, some of us think colour-first: “I need art that will work with the colour palette of the room”.

Sometimes we are looking for art that tells stories; that delights and lights-up our imagination.

Sometimes we want a piece of art that sparks up conversation; art that can be interpreted in different ways.

Sometimes we want an image in our home that makes us laugh thanks to something only we see in it!

Sometimes we want art that reminds us of who we are and what is important to us; an anchor to our identity.

Sometimes we want art that connects us to where we live, where we grew up, where something amazing and life-affirming happened; a transformative memory.

Sometimes we want art because of who created it and what they mean to us; or art that reminds us of someone so profoundly that it connects us to them in a tangible way.

Sometimes we want art that pleases our sensory systems; paintings that are textured or shimmering, art that looks and FEELS great, art we can hold and that holds things we love (like tea or coffee!) and as with our cushions - art we can literally hug!

The art we choose for our homes is a communication to those who visit;

“This is who we are, this is what’s important to us, this is what we yearn for, this is what we love.”
