Custom Decorating And Art Curation

 Making art, loving interiors and working with designers opened up a new gate for me: interior decorating and art curation, for both private homes and businesses.

This journey started sometime last year, almost organically. One of my collectors reached out and invited me to visit his apartment. The idea was simple at first: look at the space, help curate the artworks he had already purchased, and offer suggestions on how to position the furniture in a way that made more sense for the apartment. Once I stepped inside, everything clicked. Art, furniture, light, flow, all of them speaking to each other, all needing a bit of guidance to feel truly at home.

Looking back, I realize this was planted much earlier in my life. My mother was one of those people who loved change in the house. Every spring, summer, and winter, something shifted. Furniture moved, rooms were reimagined, corners became new focal points. We played with what we already had and created fresh settings without constantly buying new things. I guess that way of thinking never left me.

I love creating comfortable, cozy, and interesting spaces, especially when working with pre existing items in a room. There is something deeply satisfying about honoring what is already there and helping it tell a better story. So here I am, on another beginning: interior decorating and art curation.

After that first experience, I received several calls from friends and eventually from businesses as well. The newest opportunity came from a brand new automotive business in Willis. The project was to curate art, decorate, and visually bind together the public waiting room, office area, and common spaces.

The project went smoothly and, honestly, it was a lot of fun. The main idea I proposed was to create a waiting room that feels more like a living room. This is a small, family owned business, and I wanted the space to reflect that. We combined decorative artworks with images that define the owner and his family. The intention was simple: when clients step inside, they get to know the people behind the business.

Instead of feeling like anonymous customers, clients become guests. They get a sense of who this family is, what they value, and how they work. While waiting for their cars, they can connect to the story of the place, creating a feeling of transparency and honesty.

Most people expect automotive facilities to feel cold. A high counter acting as a barrier, employees barely visible, walls covered with race car images, uncomfortable chairs, and sometimes spaces that clearly need attention. I wanted to challenge that expectation.

This space says: this is who we are, this is what we do, and you are welcome here.

This project confirmed something important for me. Art does not live only on gallery walls. It lives in homes, in businesses, in everyday spaces where people spend their time. Curating and decorating these environments feels like a natural extension of my work as an artist, and I am excited to see where this new path leads.

Thank you to everyone who continues to trust and support my work. I am grateful for every conversation, every collaboration, and every opportunity to grow in new directions. A special thank you to Jessica and Cliff for trusting me with this project and for giving me the freedom to shape a space that truly reflects who they are.
