Support the Arts...

While most will never own an original Picasso, Warhol or Rothko the opportunity to own incredible, original works are not out of grasp in part due to local galleries. A great piece of art does more than just adorn a blank wall, it completes a space. A piece of art is the equivalent to adding a fabulous pair of earrings or cuff links to a fine-tailored dress or suiting. Circa Gallery-Minneapolis presents contemporary artists who work with a variety of mediums. "Circa’s mission is to provide awareness, discernment and appreciation of a vast array of contemporary styles, media and expressions. We strive to assist our patrons in acquiring art reflective of their own creative dimension." The gallery staff is gracious & knowledgeable and the artists represented are among the most talented in their craft. Circa's website displays a sampling of the work available to start or expand upon your personal collection. Invest in works which, "speak," to you & you won't be disappointed.


Among some of my favorites from Circa Gallery:
Barbara Gilhooly's, Spinner Networks (featured above)
Ellen Richmond's, Objects in Respect to Another

Matthew Pawlowski's, The Entrance, The Exit

Harold Hollingsworth's, Maringer

Carol Flueckiger's, Solitude of Self

Richard Hutter's, Bruno

Design Philosophy...

Ever since I was a child I remember arranging and rearranging the furniture in my bedroom. My poor father had to patch and paint my bedroom walls annually to mask all the thumb tack holes, tape-tear marks and color bleeds from all the collages and, "art exhibitions." So perhaps my fate was sealed then and I was born to be an interior designer. Today, I still have the, "fire in the belly," feeling when I see an vacant room or a blue print, just as an artist sees a blank canvas.

One's living space should be a reflection of their own personality. This is why my portfolio is vast, showing many different styles. A perfectly completed project should look as though all aspects of the room blend effortlessly. Time honored antiques paired with modern classics and one -of-a-kind-finds from travels. Not my travels, not my family heirlooms but pieces near and dear to the hearts of my clients.

I welcome you to return each Friday for a weekly update.



Best,
