My house is finally furnished(whoo hoo!), but many of the walls are empty. When I reached out to my trusty interior designer, EEB Interiors*, for help she suggested I work with an art manager, Gregg Lane in particular, to find more gallery quality artwork rather than stocked sources. You may be wondering what an art manager does. I did! Gregg Lane works with you to determine the type of artwork that will work in your house. They even bring multiple options to your home so you can actually view and live with them for a few days. Amazing! I immediately took a liking to Lisa Gregg and Kate Lane. They came over to see my house and I loved their ideas of where they could put some of our current artwork(of course all in places I hadn’t thought of). I asked them to start by looking for a painting for our living room. I gave them my budget, which I’m guessing is less than most of their clients, but they seem happy working at varying budgets. They also mentioned to me they like the challenge of finding«undiscovered» artists(aka: more affordable :)). After getting a feeling for the type of artwork my husband and I liked they sent along(first via email) a bunch of options for the living room. My husband and I picked our favorite… and Lisa showed up a few days later with an installer by the name of James and the painting. For a few days my house was basically an art gallery because she also brought along a few other paintings that she wanted me to see in the space as well. I’m so glad she did because I ended up going with a different painting after living with a few of them for a few days. The painting is absolutely perfect and completes our living room. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have been able to find such a perfect piece if we had gone art shopping on our own & it sure would have taken a lot longer. I think it’s going to take several years to fill the walls of our house so I hope Lisa and Kate liked working with me as much as I enjoyed working with them! *
