How My Collectors Live With Their Paintings

Choosing a painting is about how a piece moves you and becomes part of your home.

If a piece has drawn you in, trust that instinct.

The rest will unfold naturally.

Choosing a Place for Your Art

Often, more than one spot will feel right—the pleasure is in discovering where it belongs.

This same approach applies to color. My palettes are designed to live comfortably alongside other colors, textures, and finishes already present in a home by:

  • echoing a tone already in the room

  • softening a space with neutral, earthy balance

  • acting as a calm counterpoint to busier surroundings

The goal isn’t perfection—it’s harmony with what feels right to you.

Thinking Beyond the Obvious Spaces

While living rooms are a natural choice, many collectors end up loving their paintings in quieter, transitional spaces:

  • hallways and stair landings

  • bedrooms

  • home offices

  • reading corners

  • entryways and in-between walls

  • breakfast nooks

In spaces like these, a painting becomes part of the everyday rhythm of a home.

Final Thoughts

A painting doesn’t need to announce itself to belong.
If it feels right to you, that’s enough.
