“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” ― Thomas Merton, No Man Is an Island
The difference between a beautifully decorated home and a home that speaks to who you are, makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside, is the addition of Art and Crafts.
Adding a piece of Art and/or Craft that speak to you, instead of simply adding items that go with your decor, makes your home environment personal, intimate, interesting, intriguing and unique.
Art and craft pieces can give any room a focal point and personality. You can design around them or you can enhance your environment with them. There is always a balance to be had and a scale to be maintained. A large blank wall becomes alive with a large piece of art and busy with a plethora of knick knacks. If your furniture is small for a large room, a large piece of art can overwhelm the room, throwing off the balance.
A Uniquely chosen art and craft pieces speak to who you are and is entirely subjective. What calls to one person may not call to another. Make sure to be true to yourself. It is your home, your environment! It does not have to be expensive or famous. It can be a nicely framed poster or quilt, a grouping of masks or photographs that relate to one another, a cherished painting by a friend or family member. Bringing home that one piece from your travels, that made your heart sing when you saw it, that you thought you shouldn’t buy because of its price. Imagine seeing it every time you enter a room. and feeling the appreciation, thrill and certainty that it was worth bringing home.
Pieces of Art and Craft brings depth, life, sensuality, profound expression, makes a statement, creates a sense of drama, brings life to the place you live.
As a result of living one of my passions as an Artist and Teacher, I do have a variety of paintings and photographs available to enhance your home if they call to you. I have originals for sale as well as archival giclee prints. Custom sizes are available. I can also create a piece of art specifically you, or, design a mural or trompe l’oeil for the appropriate place in your home or business. |
