@ettavee is a Midwest-born artist now calling France home, known for bold patterns, playful energy, and the kind of optimistic color palettes that instantly lift your mood. Jessi’s global lifestyle brand is all about inviting more vibrancy into everyday life—and it shows in everything she creates.
From art prints and fabric patterns to colorful phone cases, beach towels, and stationery cards, her work brings joy far beyond the just a canvas. What started in a tiny Parisian apartment back in 2013 has grown into the beloved brand EttaVee, featured in @essence, @goodmorningamerica, @apartmenttherapy, and more.
Jessi’s collection here at the gallery is a true reflection of what EttaVee stands for: color, creativity, and living boldly—every single day. ✨🎨
Hey there! It’s been a minute since a gallery behind-the-scenes check-in 👀 We made a few fun upgrades lately starting with a coffee pot + the cutest stamped mugs after @andreaaferrigno asked if we had coffee (we do now ☕️). Hannah wrapped up an interior design meeting for a masculine home office (the blues were spot on), we officially added peel-and-stick wallpaper to our skill set thanks to @chasingpaper, and our upcoming Iowa Artist of the Month dropped off her stunning new series 🤩
Oh—and Insiders got some new perks 👀 more on that soon!
Welcome to Pattern Play ✨ these photos make our artists pieces truly come together, working as a team, and an inspiration to one another. Watching our artists pull inspiration from our recent collaboration with @chasingpaper and turn it into their own creative flair has been nothing short of magic.
This show is all about celebrating design, bold pattern mixing, and color theory in a way that feels fresh but still deeply personal. Think of it as walking through a living mood board—layered, playful, and full of ideas to spark your own interiors and art at home.
Stop in today from 10–4 PM CST and experience it for yourself 💛
✨ Pattern Play is officially LIVE today at 10 AM CST ✨
This show feels extra special to us. It all started with our wallpaper designs that launched back in the fall, and from there we invited seven incredible artists to do what they do best—interpret, adapt, and create from those colors, patterns, and textures in their own artistic flair.
What I love most about Pattern Play is watching inspiration move from one artist to another. Seeing how @bekahworleyco, @aneeshahstudio, @thewallflowerworkshop, @kristen.abbott.art, @paige.barnes.dorsey, @kevin.brent.morris, @banyanbridges, and @theodoramillerfineart’s wallpapers fit perfectly with the chosen artists. It feels less like individual pieces on a wall and more like a group conversation… a team coming together to build something beautiful, layered, and full of personality.
This show celebrates collaboration, curiosity, and letting design guide the process rather than confine it. We can’t wait for you to step into the space, take it all in, and experience how color and pattern truly come alive together !🤍🎨
This is one you don’t want to miss 🤍 A show meant to be experienced and wandered-in while feeling inspired, curious, and a sense of wonder. After collaborating with @chasingpaper, we invited seven of our artists to create work inspired by these wallpaper designs. The result? A space that truly comes alive and celebrates the power of pattern play in interior design. More details coming tomorrow to you tomorrow!✨
I sat down with @thewallflowerworkshop last week for our Insider’s to talk more about her work in our new show, Pattern Play. Bringing together our collaboration with @chasingpaper and seven incredible artists, the show feels layered, lived-in, and full of creative energy. It’s an approach to viewing art that feels honest, playful, and true.
@aneeshahstudio’s landscapes invite you to slow down, sit for a moment, and remember what the quiet life feels like. Contemporary with a touch of nostalgia, each piece reflects Anee’s inner world through thoughtful color chemistry and a longing to recapture a feeling once lost. Explore all of Anee’s available works on our website, plus her wallpaper featured in this Friday’s show! ✨🖼️
Two new plates landed at the gallery last week and honestly… they felt like a little dose of sunshine we all needed ☀️
@jenniferallevato’s newest pieces are framed in gold for extra warmth and glow, wrapping her beautifully detailed, chinoiserie-inspired plates in something that feels both classic and fresh. Each work is layered with acrylic, vinyl paint, and graphite… but even more so, they’re layered with intention, thoughtful design, and delicate brushstrokes you can’t stop looking at.
Based in Virginia, Jennifer creates post-impressionist inspired mixed media paintings influenced by culture and history, and these new works feel like little moments of color you get to live with every day. Trust us, your walls will thank you! See them now on our website!! ✨🎨🍽️
Such kind words from clients near and far 🤍 We truly love a morale boost here at the gallery, and you all bring it daily. Every stop-in, comment, and thoughtful note makes this small business smile more than you know. They say to stay out of the comment section… but we’re very happy living in ours! Thank you 😍
As the weekend hits, we figured it was the perfect excuse to sprinkle a little art into your feed to help brighten these cold winter days in Iowa. Nothing beats seeing a little color shine through from our feed to yours, especially when it feels like winter might last forever. Thanks for hanging out with us here, soaking it all in, and letting art be part of your everyday moments! ✨🤍
The artist vs. the art ✨Based in Chicago, @hapiart creates work that feels unmistakably her — bold, colorful, joyful, and full of personality. As Liz puts it: “Kristi’s work reflects everything we stand for at the gallery: color, individuality, joy… and (a perk), GLITTER.”
Her newest release features eight mixed-media pieces starting at $745, each layered with shimmering cut-glass glitter. A thoughtful study of color, texture, and restraint, these works shift and catch the light as you move around them, creating something dynamic yet refined. Proof that playful materials can still feel elevated! Her new series is LIVE at 10 AM CST today!!🎉🎨🌈
Here are some of the frame styles you’ll spot around the gallery—float frames, vintage finds, acrylic boxes, and all different kinds of matting. Frames aren’t just the finishing touch, they’re apart of the art itself. The right one can completely change the vibe: laid-back or polished, bold or subtle. A good frame pulls you in and gives the artwork space to breathe, blurring the line between art and object. And this is just the beginning… more framing styles and favorites coming soon!✨
A small refresh can make a big impact. In her most recent project, Hannah worked closely with a client to reimagine two bedrooms and a shared bathroom, thoughtfully building a cohesive color story that honored the furniture they already loved. By layering fresh paint selections with carefully chosen artwork, each space was brought to life in a way that feels both intentional and lived-in. From initial design direction to final installation, every detail was planned and executed side by side with the client resulting in spaces that feel personal, polished, and truly complete! ✨🎨
A familiar name and a beloved presence in Des Moines—please join us in welcoming Sarah Grant as our newest signed artist! Deeply rooted in central Iowa, Sarah’s creative path has always been shaped by the cultures of art, science, academia, and agriculture. As the founder of Sticks Object Art & Furniture, she managed hundreds of artists before returning full-time to her own practice in 2018. Sticks custom pieces and her individual fine artworks can be found in museums and corporate, private, and public collections worldwide. With gallery representation since the 1980’s Sarah’s impact is undeniable—and we’re excited to share her work with our community. Welcome Sarah!! ✨🎨
Based in Vancouver, Canada, abstract artist @joykinna draws from a lifelong connection to the ocean, wonder, and creative exploration. After the welcoming her first child, her practice evolved from a “side job” into a full-time career. Her guiding advice remains simple yet powerful: “take the risk when your gut says YES.” These works embody Joy’s essence—grounded and gentle, yet ethereal, unfolding stories through texture and brushstrokes.
Being surrounded by art all day does something to you. As a gallery, we clock out and somehow end up right back in creative mode at home. ✨
Beyond these four walls, our team has been busy making, experimenting, and getting their hands a little messy. From glass blowing to painting, jewelry making to murals, each of us has been channeling the energy, curiosity, and courage we see in our artists every day. It’s a reminder that creativity is contagious and when you live and breathe art, it doesn’t stay at work. 🎨🙌
A recent art loan to @westwoodhouseofdesign that brought the perfect finishing touch to an already stunning space. We love when art steps off the wall and into everyday life. Letting art not just to be admired, but truly lived with. This collaboration was such a joy, and we’re always grateful to work alongside local designers. Big thanks to Lauren for working with us for the ✨final touch✨.
@betsyenzensberger’s new release contains seven one-of-a-kind, hand-sculpted glass pops with marble. When we say one-of-a-kind, we mean never to be recreated again featured in blue, pink, and a purple sparkly stripe 🍭💎
What makes these extra special? This series came straight out of Betsy’s material experimentation. She originally planned to heat the glass and use molds… but after some trial and error, she ended up hand-sculpting every single block of glass between the marble layers. Yes. By hand. We’re still in awe over here!!
As Betsy transitions from resin to safer chemical compounds, this work marks an exciting turning point and she’s already teasing that the next series will be even more spectacular. Shop the full series LIVE at 10 AM CST on our website. Don’t blink, you might miss it!✨
Looking ahead to 2026, our Director of Interior Design, Hannah, is calling in a shift toward spaces that feel layered, intentional, and deeply personal. Her five predicted trends? More confidence in pattern mixing, richer color palettes, thoughtfully curated antiques, homes that prioritize emotion over perfection, and a continued commitment to sustainability through supporting local makers.
“As a small business, it’s so important to support other small businesses around the Des Moines area,” Hannah shares. “They’re often creating the most unique, well-crafted pieces—far from anything mass-produced.”
These trends celebrate homes that feel meaningful and personal! Planning a refresh in 2026? Head to our website to find the design package that fits your home and lifestyle. ✨🏡

As a mixed media painter living in Boulder, CO, @kristen.abbott.art builds quiet stories through texture, layering, and time. Her work carries a sense of history—moments gathered, pressed, and remembered rather than rushed. ✨🌱
Using the historical cyanotype printing process, Kristen places leaves and found objects from around her home onto silk. Exposed to light and then washed with water, each piece slowly reveals delicate, organic patterns—no two ever the same.
In a world that feels endlessly loud, Kristen creates work meant to feel like a pause. A deep breath. Her pieces don’t compete for attention; they gently invite you to slow down, to notice the beauty, depth, and quiet interest found in stillness. 🌳🪴✨
Welcoming our new Iowa Artist of the Month 🌼✨ @jenna_brownlee!
Based in Des Moines, @jenna_brownlee has been part of the gallery family since we opened in 2019. Known for her murals throughout Iowa, she transitioned from a decade-long career in graphic design to pursue painting full time. That foundation still shows in her work through thoughtful composition, balance, and color.
Jenna is drawn to flowers for their layered forms, rich textures, and symbolism of growth, resilience, and positivity. Though her paintings often appear photographic at first glance, each piece is built through an intuitive process using acrylic on canvas. Jenna studied multiple mediums at the Des Moines Art Center, later earning her BFA at the University of Iowa, ultimately finding her voice in bold, vibrant color stories that feel both precise and alive.
Explore Jenna’s newest works under our “Iowa Artist of the Month” tab on the website! 🌸
Lauren, a small-town Illinois native, found these pieces by @ytterbergstudio something that feels like home away from home!🤍
@ytterbergstudio is a hard-edge color block painter based in St. Louis, Missouri. Her practice is rooted in rural landscapes and the way people hold memory through places. She’s also a boy mom who’s VERY productive during nap time, often painting then.💪🏼🎨
Liz was first introduced to Aly’s work through a Midwest Living Magazine feature that included one of her pieces. That introduction grew into a working relationship, and Aly has been part of the gallery since 2023!!
Most days, Aly is at home with her boys, balancing motherhood and artistry. Her balance shows up in the artwork: structured, thoughtful, and quietly emotional. ✨😍
This week’s team top picks works on paper edition ✨ From original photographs layered with painting, to one-of-a-kind works on paper and thoughtfully produced prints, these editions are something special! There’s something so unique about paper: it feels intimate, immediate, and incredibly personal to the artist’s process.
What we love most? Works on paper tend to be more approachable and affordable, they offer so much flexibility in how they’re framed or displayed, and they’re easy to store or rotate as your space evolves. Most importantly, they’re a beautiful way to support artists while honoring a different side of their creativity — one that feels raw, experimental, and deeply intentional.
A few of the little things that make us happy every single day at the gallery 🤍Watching people slow down and actually spend time with the work. Building relationships and collaborating with artists we truly believe in. Feeling the good energy move through the space—curiosity, connection, conversation. It’s more than just art on the walls; it’s the moments, the people, and the feeling that makes this place what it is!! ✨🩷🎨
From Virginia to the sea, @hellochristinaflowers transforms dreams into color and form. Her Nautical Flags Re-Imagined series draws inspiration from the language of maritime flags—not their literal designs, but their deeper purpose: communication. 🌊🚢✨
Rooted in the International Code of Signals, where each flag represents a letter and combinations convey meaning, these works carry that same spirit forward. Each piece becomes its own message, telling a story through color, shape, and rhythm. Continuing a long tradition of visual storytelling through art. ⚓️🦀✨
Layering art beyond the frame ✨ Styling our new @chasingpaper wallpapers alongside works by some of our artists, with our interior designer Hannah. She helps clients thoughtfully integrate wallpaper into their spaces—offering estimates, design recommendations, and even incorporating our very own wallpaper line to create rooms that feel intentional, lived-in, and uniquely personal.
“What I love about wallpaper is how instantly it transforms a space—from walls and ceilings to the backs of bookcases. Its texture catches and reflects light in a way flat surfaces never could.” - Hannah Jacobus
Merry Christmas from all of us at LLGD 🤍 As this year comes to a close, we can’t help but reflect on how grateful we are for this community—artists, collectors, friends, and everyone who walks through our doors and makes this space feel like home. Thank you for showing up, supporting creativity, and believing in what we do. Wishing you a season filled with warmth, beauty, and art that brings you joy. Happy Holidays ✨
Our holiday hours have changed as we celebrate the holiday season with family and friends. The gallery will be closed December 24th through January 3rd, but we’re never too far away. Our website will be open all week long, so you can continue exploring and shopping all available artwork whenever you need a little extra joy! 🤩 🎄
Where unpredictability and control meet in quiet harmony—on both canvas and paper. @loganledfordart is a New Orleans–based two-dimensional artist whose work lives in the tension between structure and spontaneity. Carefully balanced within grid-like compositions, Ledford’s textural circular forms feel both intentional and organic, creating a rhythmic visual language that draws you in the longer you look.🎨✨
Each piece plays with repetition, depth, and subtle variation, allowing color and texture to build a story rather than shout it. The result is work that feels grounded yet dynamic. Calm at first glance, but layered with movement and difference. Her pieces bring an elevated sense of warmth and interest to a space, adding just the right amount of texture and a thoughtfully curated color palette that effortlessly complements any room. ✨🔵
You might not live a quiet, serene life… but your walls can! 🪴🌅✨ Wide open land, winding rivers, soft sunsets, and the kind of stillness that invites you to slow down. Calm. Grounded. Present. Even when life keeps moving, @aneeshahstudio’s landscapes remind us that stillness is always within reach.
Once a scientist in the corporate world, @aneeshahstudio stepped away from a decade-long career to follow her creative calling. Inspired by the beauty of an unhurried life and the peace found in expansive, abundant fields, her work is rooted in simplicity, reflection, and the quiet moments we so often overlook.
Everyone say hello to Little Miss Sunshine, Louie, and Mick ✨ A trio with big personality and even bigger charm. From their expressions to their playful presence, they’re here to bring a little happiness straight from their faces to yours. Three faces that somehow feel like instant friends 🥹✨
Created by @suzy.lindow, a self-taught painter and collage artist with a serious love for quirk (and yes… COLOR!). She names each piece purely on feeling — inspired by the vibe, the place she imagines the face belonging, or sometimes simply a name she loves that perfectly matches the personality of the painting.
We have been honored to represent @huntslonem since the gallery opened in 2019. Over the years, we’ve watched continued growth in both demand and value for his work, making it a strong and confident addition to any collection. With upcoming price increases in the new year, now is an especially meaningful moment to collect a Hunt Slonem piece. Check out our website for a special holiday treat! 🎁✨🎄
@huntslonem is a nationally recognized artist whose work is collected by some of the most notable names in culture including @krisjenner, @jimmyfallon, @madonna, and many more. His signature compositions—exotic forms brought to life through expressive, highly textural brushstrokes—are rich with movement and saturated color. Since 1977, Hunt Slonem has presented more than 350 exhibitions at renowned galleries and museums around the world.
Our 2025 numbers are in, and wow… what a year. 🤍
This year was truly one for the books—full of color, growth, and so many smiling moments. We welcomed more artists, sold more art, added new team members, and connected with even more art lovers along the way.
A few highlights we’re still pinching ourselves over:
✨ 92.5% of our inventory sold (from what came in to what went out!)
✨ 1 brand-new space
✨ Shipped to 7 countries (hello, Saudi Arabia!) and 42 states (Alaska + Vermont… you’re next 👀)
✨318 holes in the wall (and patched 😉)
✨42 online releases
✨ 78 artists 👩🎨
None of this happens without you. We’re endlessly grateful for every share, visit, purchase, conversation, and ounce of support you give—especially for our artists and creatives here in the Midwest.
Here’s to more art, more connection, and even bigger dreams in the new year. Cheers to 2026 ✨🎉
No matter the season, these pieces by @jenna_brownlee never fail to draw us in. We get so many questions about this installation, and for good reasoning. These stunning floral realism paintings are all from past sold works that still stop people in their tracks. There’s something so special about seeing art that has already found its homes continue to live on and inspire right here in the gallery.
Jenna is a Des Moines native and has been with us since the very beginning (literally since the day we opened our doors) and it means the world to us to watch her work resonate so deeply with our community. These florals feel like a little reminder of warmth, growth, and beauty, even when it’s freezing outside. 🌸❄️
1,333 pieces of art found new homes this year… and only 3 made their way back 🤍 This number still blows us away. We take so much pride in making art feel accessible and confidently collectible, especially for our online friends who can’t always walk through the gallery doors. From constantly filming, taking high-quality photos, and talking through every detail, our goal is to make you feel like you’re standing right here with us, falling in love with a piece in real time.
This stat isn’t just about returns—it’s about trust, connection, and helping you find art that truly feels like yours. And for that, we’re endlessly grateful. ✨
Hannah’s been working closely with a client to refresh their bedrooms, and you KNOW art was part of the plan. ✨😍 These stunning pieces by @meghanbustard and @tessabrownart were the perfect finishing touch, playing so beautifully with Hannah’s paint choices. What started as blank white walls is now a cozy, elevated space filled with colorful neutrals that just get one another. Proof that the right art really does change everything. 💫
Our most-clicked pieces from November are in… and honestly, you all have amazing taste. ❤️ Seeing which artworks you gravitated toward this month was such a joy, it feels like we get closer to you guys by seeing what you love!
A few of these beauties have already found their new homes (we miss them already!), but most are still here waiting to be scooped up. Scroll through, pick your favorites, and tell us which one you’d hang in your space — we love seeing what catches your eye just as much as you do!
Exploring the Edge is seriously making the gallery glow! 🌈✨Every wall is humming with color, sharp lines, raw textures, and sculptural elements that had us completely obsessed during install. From ink on raw canvas to bold acrylic lines, burlap-wrapped forms, and sculptures that push right past the “edge”… this show is such a thrill to walk through.
We’re also a proud stop on the Peppermint Trail with @theavenuesdsm today! 🍬 🎄Swing in from 10–4 PM, warm up, explore the new show, and make us part of your stroll down Ingersoll Avenue.
Come see the color in person — it’s even better up close. 🎨✨
Our new show called Exploring the Edge is now LIVE! Step into hard-edge abstractions featured from six of our artists: @amber_vittoria, @andreaaferrigno, @hellochristinaflowers, @angieqcoates, @shannoncoppage, and @loganledfordart. A show where each artist interpreted clean lines, crisp forms, and sophisticated palettes.
Putting up our new show today and wow… it’s a good one.🌈✨“Exploring the Edge” opens tomorrow at 10 AM CST, featuring six incredible artists we’re so lucky to work with: @amber_vittoria, @andreaaferrigno, @angieqcoates, @hellochristinaflowers, @shannoncoppage, and @loganledfordart.
Inspired by crisp boundaries and bold geometry, this collection is full of hard-edge abstractions. Each artist putting their own personality and style into the mix. Every piece feels like it balances the next one, truly an exhibition to brighten the gloomy winter days!! We can’t wait to share it with you up close tomorrow at 10 AM CST!!
We never want to drift out of your feed… or out of your life! Instagram loves to shuffle things around, so if you want to keep us close, tap the three dots up top and add us to your “favorites.” We love showing up for you, and we love when you show up for us. Here’s to staying connected.
xoxo,
The LLGD Team
Sooooo… we’ve been keeping a (good) secret and it’s taken everything in us not to spill it sooner 😭✨ We teamed up with @sarahjaclynschwartz, @vickyreddish, and @thewallflowerworkshop to turn their gorgeous artworks into actual scarves — yes, wearable art you can tie, twist, drape, or fling onto your bag. The team has been buzzing waiting to share these with you. Each scarf feels like a mini gallery moment you get to style your way. They’re officially LIVE on our website now! Limited quantities, so snag your favorite little masterpiece while it lasts. 💛🧣🎨
A few favorites we’ve been hoarding in the camera roll 📸✨ Every time I’m scrolling mindlessly and one of these pops up, it’s like a burst of joy to my day (and hopefully to your feed)! Truly—thank you for creating what you create, for sharing your magic, and for making our gallery (and our camera roll) so much happier. Keep doing what you do!!
Looking for meaningful client or employee gifts this holiday season? 🎄✨ We help businesses share art in a way that feels thoughtful, personal, and truly memorable — from original works to prints chosen just for your team! We can take care of everything: wrapping, branding, and even handwritten notes so each gift feels intentional and valued.
Our latest project? Framing, wrapping, and branding these beautiful originals by @alexandra.ackerman! Now headed off to a client to surprise their employees for the holidays🎁✨
This release?!! Absolutely stunning✨@jenniferallevato has been painting away in her dreamy, light-soaked Virginia studio, and you can feel every bit of it in her work. Her colorful, post-impressionist style makes you stop, stare, and take every detail in.
@jenniferallevato always says she finds “beauty, love, romance, memories, and dreams in those colors,” and honestly… us too! This new series features eight chinoiserie-inspired vases all with intricate landscape detailing. It all goes LIVE today at 10 AM CST!!✨🩵
Lauren’s Christmas list… aka: just art, obviously.
Here’s what she’s currently obsessed with: the way every color works with one another. Hot pinks and deep greens from @ettavee and @loganledfordart (a duo we didn’t know we needed), @emksnyder balancing soft blues with the perfect rust color, and @taelor.fisher giving full “holiday-at-home by the sewing machine” energy with her abstract, quilt-like work.
And let’s be real… no list is complete without a @paige.barnes.dorsey snake to top it off! Comment down below your favorite piece from Lauren’s 2025 Christmas List ! ⬇️🎁✨
Liz’s workspace is the complete opposite of “sterile office energy.” It’s cozy, layered, and soooo her. 🌈✨ Art is the secret ingredient—warmth, softness, and just enough personality to spark new ideas on the daily. We brought in @the.allisonjames’s Stash Maps and mixed in a few intentional layers because the magic isn’t just in hanging art… it’s in playing with it.
Lean a piece here, tuck a piece there, and suddenly the whole space feels lived-in and creatively alive. And of course we had to include a very exclusive piece from one of our most infamous youth artists—aka one of Liz’s kids. A true collector’s item if you ask us.✏️🎨
Captured Lily and Tina in their natural habitat yesterday celebrating the fact that we PAID 47 artists this month!! 🎉 The photo might not win any awards, but honestly… how could we not share this moment with you?!
From tiny treasures to big pieces, over 150 artworks found new homes in November. That’s THREE HUNDRED yards of ribbon Lily went through… which is 84 feet short of the height of the eiffel tower! 🎀📦 Thank you all for the love, the support, and for making this wild, joyful art life possible. 🩷
Welcoming our December Artist of the Month… @christinehilbert! ✨
Christine is a longtime friend of the gallery and a talented collaborator, you may have seen her work in the art installation at @prairie_meadows or in murals across Des Moines. Based in Winterset, she brings so much vibrancy and whimsy to every piece she creates.
We’re thrilled to feature 16 of her works this month, all available under the “Buy Art” tab on our website subtitled “Iowa Artist of the Month”.
Welcome, Christine! 🌟
A few beauties from @daisyfaithart — an artist whose work is deeply inspired by interior design and color stories. Based in North Carolina, Daisy first joined us as a guest artist creating animal art prints, and has since perfected her medium while exploring fresh, vibrant ways to express her creativity. Influenced by impressionism and the bold spirit of fauvism, she’s truly a creative through and through, with roots in film, art, and design. A fun fact: she paints exclusively on wood panels, so her pieces come ready to hang with no framing needed!

Thank you for supporting my small business with a big heart. Wishing you a day full of rest, warmth, and the people you love. 🤍 (And if you’re scrolling between slices of pie… we’re thankful for that too.)
This weeks blog post, Hannah dove into one of our favorite pieces by @anna__michele__ — Wrapped Panel #149 — and created the dreamiest “Woven Garden Dining Room.”
Think tailored and elegant, serene but still so natural… the kind of space where even your simplest meals feel thoughtful. One thing we absolutely love about this scheme is how the colors in @anna__michele__’s wrapped panel tie the whole room together without stealing the show. It’s the perfect balance of structure and pattern that just works.
Go take a peek at Hannah’s newest blog post under our About Us tab — it’s such a good one! 🌿🎨
Art… because we really just love art! ❤️🎨 We pulled together a few of our Holiday favorites… the pieces we keep catching ourselves staring at. We’re hoping these little ones find their way under your trees this season 🎄 🎁✨
What do we adore about these works? Their color, their energy, and the way they somehow feel perfect in every season. From cozy winter corners to bright summer rooms, they just belong all year round.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who came out on Saturday to celebrate our Grand Opening and Holiday Party! Seeing so many familiar faces—family, friends, clients, and artists—made the night feel extra special. We loved getting to show you the new space, chat with you, and share a few snacks and sips along the way. Our hearts are so full. ❤️ Happy Holidays from all of us at LLGD! ✨🎄
As a little thank you… we’re kicking off Black Friday early at Liz Lidgett Gallery + Design! Enjoy 15% off any cart totaling $750 or more with code OVER750. This past week alone, we’ve sold 140+ works, shipped to 29 states, and supported over 40 artists — and none of it would be possible without you… so here’s a bit of gratitude back your way. Happy shopping! 🖤
Adored, wrapped, shipped — in that exact order. 🫶🏼 99 pieces headed to 26 different states… we still can’t believe it! Every single one of your Holiday Shop favorites is officially en route to its forever wall, and we’re so grateful you chose to bring these little beauties into your space. We cannot wait to see them hung in your homes. ✨
Hannah pulled a few of her favorite pieces still available from the Holiday Under $500 show and paired them with interior paint colors… pure perfection. ✨One of the biggest questions we get is, “What if the art doesn’t match my home?” The best part about working with the gallery is seeing how many colors live within each piece… far more than you’d expect. Liz is amazing at curating artists whose work has so many different color palette options. ✨☺️🎨
Hot tip: look for the softer, less obvious colors when choosing interior paints. Most people go straight for the boldest shade, but art deserves to shine in your home, not blend into your walls.
🤍 - Hannah, Director of Interior Design
the wonderful @alexandra.ackerman stopped by for a little visit last week, dropping off two stunning new pieces. Living in Iowa City, she uses color, pattern, and form (both organic and geometric) to create playful and dynamic abstract landscapes. @alexandra.ackerman is influenced by her years of experience working on farms and in gardens across the country. Not only did we enjoy her lovely visit, but we now enjoy looking at these bright patchwork abstracts!! 😍🎨✨ These will be available at noon on our website!!
Some of the little beauties we still have left from the Holiday Under $500 show! As we started pulling pieces, we couldn’t help but notice at how effortlessly they all work together. The golds with the blues, the greens with the pinks, everything just clicks in the sweetest way. It’s one of those moments where you’re reminded why you fall in love with art in the first place. 🎨✨ You can find what is still available in our Holiday Shop on our top banner! Happy shopping!😍
WHAT A WEEK!!😍 Our Holiday Under $500 release went live on Friday with more than 230 pieces AND in the first hour alone, we saw over a hundred works find new homes, 53 orders come through, and an unbelievable amount of support. I’m truly grateful. Thank you for showing up for me, for this business, and for the artists who make this world a little brighter. 🎨✨
There are still plenty of beautiful pieces available on the site if you’re looking for a meaningful gift (or a little something for yourself). Thanks again for being here!
Meet the guy behind the lens, and the paintbrush… @nick.sanders.photography! Based in Texas, Nick takes his portraits a step further by hand-painting over each photograph, turning every edition of five prints into its own original artwork. His work brings a bold, unconventional edge to creative advertising and fine art photography. You can now see (and shop!) his five new hand-painted pieces in our Holiday Under $500 Show, live as of yesterday at 10 AM CST! Welcome Nicholas!!✨🎨
Aaaand it’s LIVE! I’ve been so excited to share this year’s Holiday collection—full of smaller, mix-and-match pieces that feel so easy to make your own. I’m such a sucker for little artworks tucked into unexpected corners of my home… behind a door, on a bookshelf, even above my kitchen sink.
We’ve added over 220 pieces under $500 (yes, 100 more than Holiday in July!), and they’re all up on the website now. I can’t wait to see the sweet little spots these pieces find in your homes!!
Meet our newest gallery addition, @hayleykolar — a Minnesota-based painter whose work feels just as restorative as it looks. Hayley draws her inspiration straight from nature, creating pieces that celebrate resilience, hope, and connection. A true friend of butterflies, she loves capturing their wings up close, each brushstroke revealing a little bit of her story. You can see the layers of her process — and her heart — in every painting she creates. 🦋 Welcome @hayleykolar !!! You can see her two newest pieces TOMORROW in our Holiday Under $500 show at 10 AM CST✨🎨🩵
This week on Hannah’s agenda — a full-on bathroom remodel and design takeover! 💛 With construction underway, Hannah’s right there in the mix, collaborating with the crew to bring every detail to life. This space is shaping up to be something special — a cozy Iowa cottage vibe filled with mustard yellows, soft blues, and pops of green. A bathroom that feels just soft and sophisticated. 🛁✨
Shopping for art online can be so tricky — it’s hard to really picture how a piece will feel in your space or what size will actually look right on your walls. This is such a great reference point when you’re choosing artwork for your home — helping you see how different sizes translate to real-life walls so you can feel confident in your selection. Whether you’re filling a cozy nook or creating a gallery moment, this guide makes the process so much easier (and more fun!). Love this helpful idea from our friends at Anne Irwin Fine Art!
We couldn’t have asked for better curb appeal 🌸 Big thanks to @beelineandblue for bringing this art installation to life, featuring @jenna_brownlee’s stunning florals—each scanned from past works painted and sold here at the gallery. 😍✨
@jenna_brownlee has created over 40 murals across 20 cities in Iowa, transforming spaces and uplifting communities through her art. You can now spot her newest installation on @theavenuesdsm Art Map—right on our storefront!

In case you missed it this week, this is what we were up to! This week we received so much artwork for our upcoming Holiday Art Under $500 show. We cannot wait to show you all the 200+ pieces we’ve been getting sent in, turn your alarms on art lovers! ⏰ 🎨 ✨We got a behind the scenes of how our newest artists Karen and Bill create their digital works, took our holiday photo (and even got @sara_kentschneider to join in!), launched our AMAZING wallpaper collab with @chasingpaper, debuted @sarina.angell’s fabric works, and installed something so cool that we’ll share more tomorrow!😍
From just down the road—this month’s Iowa Artist, @jimmynavarroart, brings a little extra charm to Des Moines with his take on the iconic @theingersoll. 🌇 🎥 @jimmynavarroart, originally from Wisconsin but now a proud local, has been part of our gallery family for nine years—often hand-delivering his paintings himself (we love his visits!). Known for his plein air style, Jimmy captures Iowa’s beauty right in the moment—whether it’s sneakers or the calm stillness of Iowa landscapes.
Stop by the gallery today from 10-4 PM CST or visit our website to see our newest Iowa Artist wall featuring his work! ❤️
It’s release day for @sarina.angell 🎉 Live at 10 AM CST! Sarina brought her signature Croco-style to this drop 🐊 —hand-printed, fabricated, and quilted perfection. From broken chairs to dead roaches to Goetze’s Meats, her pieces tell stories only she could dream up. Based in Baltimore, Sarina practices both fine art and wearable art—creating sweaters and clothing that are just as bold and charming as her artworks. Her work pulls from her Southern roots and that perfectly unique, wonderful mix we can’t get enough of. 🩵🎨✨
Tina decided Lauren needed a little feed moment—so naturally, we pulled out some pink art! 💕 Our biggest piece yet from @jenniferallevato just arrived, and we couldn’t wait to make it the star. From there, we mixed in pieces by @katiecraigart, and two of our Iowa artists, @alexandra.ackerman and @rockyreedart, plus a touch of @the.allisonjames to tie it all together.
What we loved most? How effortlessly everything blended—like it was meant to be. We’re gearing up for our holiday team photo today, so of course, a dress was a must … and Lauren’s couldn’t have been more perfect for this moment.

Lily, our incredible inventory manager, makes sure every piece of art is cared for from the moment it arrives to the moment it’s shipped to you. She swaps scissors for box cutters (no accidental slices here 👀), inspects each piece, logs all the details, and photographs them in their best light.
We love how her photos capture every texture and brushstroke, making online shopping feel just like seeing it in person. And when your artwork arrives? Expect the signature Lily touch: a handwritten thank-you, a hanging tip, and plenty of paper + bubble wrap love. 💌📦
Hannah came back from @highpointmarket feeling more inspired than ever! There’s nothing quite like spending a few days surrounded by the best design, discovering new vendors, testing out furniture in person, and making connections. Between showroom hopping, color and pattern spotting, and catching up with fellow designers, her creative cup is overflowing. @hannah.jacobus is ready to bring all of her inspiration back to the gallery and into new projects! Get ready for what’s to come!! #lizlidgettgalleryanddesign #lizlidgettgallery #art #artist #interior #interiordesign #designer #highpointmarket #inspiration
Color check! 🎨 The gallery got a fresh dose of fun last week. We’re keeping the white walls classic but couldn’t resist painting at least SOMETHING—because a little color keeps life a little more playful. Big shoutout to Lily and Tina for diving in, paint-splattered pants and all. Totally worth it! ✨💚🩷💙
