We circled back with a collector who recently purchased a Shannon Coppage pair and we asked her why she was drawn to the pieces. Meet Christina A. from Charlotte, North Carolina!

LL: Why is it important, to you, to have art in your space?

CA: A room without art just doesn’t feel complete and I love finding pieces that add that finishing touch to tie the room together. Plus, art just makes me happy!

LL: What drew you to Shannon Coppage's artwork?

CA: I love Shannon’s style! The big brushstrokes and gorgeous colors would look great in anyone’s space. This pair was exactly what I was looking for in our breakfast room.

LL: What types of art do you most enjoy?

CA: I am big into abstract art these days. A well-done abstract really elevates a space, and can pair well with any style home. We have abstract art in almost every room of our house at this point!

LL: When did you start collection original artwork?

CA: The first original art I purchased was as a birthday present to myself six years ago, and I haven’t stopped collecting since! I still love to look at that first piece—it’s hanging in a very prominent place in my living room.

LL: What would be in your ideal art collection? Or what artists are on your collector's "wish list"?

CA: I love collecting pieces from different artists, and there are so many I would love to have in our house. My wish list right now would be to have pieces by Renee Bouchon, Vesela Baker and Allison James. They all use such striking colors and their pieces really make a statement.
