LIVING WITH ART
Original art has the power to transform a space. It can inspire, add character, warmth, energy, humour, or calm. Made by the hands of another human, in response to their lived experience, original artwork brings depth and meaning to the environments we inhabit. Chosen well, art gives back for years to come - becoming part of your daily life, your shared history, and often your family story.
With over 25 years of experience sourcing and placing art for clients, I offer tailored support at every stage of the process. From identifying your tastes and selecting the right work, through to framing, lighting, and professional hanging, I work closely with you to ensure each piece feels considered, confident, and right for its setting.

HOW I CAN HELP
Whether you are looking for one perfect piece, beginning a collection, or rethinking the art you already own, the process can be as simple or as involved as you need.
ART FINDING & SOURCING
I can help identify the kind of work you respond to and suggest pieces according to your taste, space and budget. Alongside the artists I represent, years in the art world has gifted me a wide network of artists, galleries and makers to draw upon, so if I don't already have the right piece, I can help find it.
SEE ART IN YOUR SPACE
It can be difficult to judge the scale and impact of an artwork from a screen. Send me photographs and measurements of your room and I can create room-view mock-ups of pieces you are considering, helping you visualise different works, sizes and positions before you buy. Video calls work suprisingly well too.
HOME CONSULTATIONS
Sometimes nothing replaces standing in the room. I offer home visits in Brighton & Hove and further afield by arrangement, looking at your space, the art and objects you already own, and how new work might sit alongside them. We can consider scale, colour, sightlines, framing and placement together, without losing sight of the most important thing: choosing art you love.
THE ART EDIT
You don't necessarily need to buy something new. Many of us stop seeing the things that have been hanging in the same place for years. I can help edit and rehang an existing collection, bringing together works that might never have been shown alongside one another, finding new positions for old favourites, and identifying pieces that would benefit from reframing. A fresh eye can make an existing collection feel entirely new.
BUILDING A COLLECTION
Great collections rarely arrive fully formed. They grow through curiosity, instinct and the occasional unexpected love affair. Whether you're making your first purchase or adding to an established collection, I can help you find connections between works while building something that feels personal rather than prescribed.
FRAMING, HANGING & FINISHING TOUCHES
Finding the artwork is only part of the story. I can advise on framing, positioning and lighting, and work with trusted professional framers and installers to take a project through to the final hang, from a single statement piece to a salon wall or larger collection.
COMMISSIONS
If you've discovered an artist you love but haven't found quite the right work, I can help explore available pieces from their studio or discuss commissioning something specifically for you.
START WITH A CONVERSATION
You don't need to arrive knowing exactly what you're looking for. Send me a photograph of a wall you can't resolve, tell me about a piece you've fallen in love with, or simply get in touch to begin the conversation and explore how original art can shape and enrich your surroundings.
