Connecting People + Art

Where it all started…

I’ve worked in commercial and public galleries for over a ten years. In that time, it became very clear to me that there was a missing link between art and art collectors.

Many people don’t have the time or desire to go deep into the world of art dealers, auctions and internet sales to find the pieces that are right for them.

That’s where we can help. We see our niche as working alongside artists and collectors to navigate this process together to the benefit of all involved. We get to know your tastes, your space and budget and help you find the very best pieces for your residential and corporate needs.

Art for all

Together as artists, consultants and collectors we honour the creation, enjoyment and acquisition of art with authenticity and integrity.

Born of a dream to offer an alternative to intimidating galleries. We tailor bespoke experiences that are approachable and engaging.

Our event-calendar is intentionally restrained allowing time for discussion, site-visits with clients and studio-visits with artists.

In other words, we do less so we can do more for you.
