Whew, it was a big day—100 pieces of art sold on the first day! But I have good news, friends—there are still more treasures to claim. We’re so grateful for the community that shows up to buy art, support these artists, and cheer on our small business. Thank you, thank you. We’re now 24 hours into the sale, and there are still so many goodies under $500! Here are some of the team’s favorites that still need a home, along with a few snapshots of what our launch day looked like.
Here’s the launch day update! We have the best clients—and they’re all over the world. From near and far, these art collectors know and support our mission: art is for everyone. Over 50 pieces under $500 are still available and looking for their forever home. ❤️ Hop over to the website and shop the collection!
Aaaand, it’s live! I’m so excited about this collection—with smaller works you can collect in a mix-and-match way that reflects your personality and style. I also love placing smaller pieces in unexpected spots around my home—bookshelves, corner walls, above a door. Now available on the website: 150+ pieces of art under $500. Can’t wait to see where these end up!
Want to know what we’re excited about? These painted cloudscapes by @tessabrownart. These three will soon be coming down off the walls and stored in our backroom (until they find a home) as we prepare for the next show—but our love for the dreamy brushstrokes remains. The cool blues and warm sunsets—you can feel it all here. Which one is your favorite mood? ⛅️
It’s one of our busiest weeks! Twice a year, we launch a new under $500 collection—and for both our team and our clients, it’s an exciting rush. Our forever goal is to make art accessible and to remind you that art is for everyone. That’s why we love seeing these small pieces find fast homes. With just two days to go, here’s a quick recap of today’s to-do:
✔️ Boxes stacked
✔️ Inventory counted
✔️ Stickers placed
✔️ Art to debut this Friday at 10am CT 🎉
#artgallery #affordableart #artisforeveryone #artforall #collectart
The countdown is on! Just three days until Holiday in July—a new collection of 150+ works under $500. Here are a few surprises I’ve spotted (and loved) as they’ve come through the gallery doors:
– A sweet collection of birds on mini canvases by @trevormikula
– Striped edges by @aneeshahstudio
– Legs (that you know and love!) from @angelachrusciakiblehm—just at a smaller size
– Ornate frames paired with @faresmicuephotography’s bold portraiture
– Never-before-seen works on paper by @the.allisonjames
– Neutral patterns on sculpted canvas from @rebeccasternart
– More solo butterflies from @aghartpainting
...and so much more. Set your alarms, this Friday at 10am CT it all goes live on the website!
Hey, Hannah here 👋 Today @lizlidgett and I had a great convo about a design scheme inspired by @hillaryhoworthart’s piece in the current show. The key takeaway? Balance—mixing organic patterns with bold, geometric art. Since the artwork features warm tones, I leaned into cooler hues for the wallpaper and fabrics to create contrast. Ultimately, I could talk art and design all day. Reach out if you ever want to chat! #interiordesign #artanddesign #artfulinteriors
Soaking up the best parts of summer ☀️ @jaimemccarrierart’s painted portraits feel like snapshots of perfect moments. Each one is either someone familiar or somewhere you wish you were: in a swimsuit, sitting next to the water. Our latest show, By the Water, features 5+ new works, all framed and ready to hang. Summer all year round, brought to you by Jaime! #artgallery #coastalart
We get a lot of the same design questions, so our Director of Design, Hannah, is here to clear a few things up—because if one client’s wondering, chances are others are too! (She’s even schooling the gallery side lately. 👏🏼) Today’s topic: the difference between architects and interior designers—and why you often need both. Swipe through and let’s break it down. ➡️
You don’t need to be a millionaire. Here, you’ll find original pieces of art that speak to you and fit your budget. Many emerging artists sell one-of-a-kind works for less than the cost of dinner out. Support real artists, style with meaning and keep your wallet happy. Art is for everyone, friends. 🧡 #artgallery #affordableart #collectart
What’s a cyanotype? 🌿 It’s a historic and unique way of making images using sunlight and special chemicals. The final piece turns a beautiful sky or ocean blue—that’s why it’s called “cyanotype” (“cyano” means blue). @kristen.abbott.art’s collection of botanical silhouettes is dreamy and drops this Friday morning. Done on silk, each piece has a slightly sheer quality. Fun fact: Cyanotypes were first used in the 1840s to copy notes and architectural drawings—that’s where the word “blueprint” comes from!
Giving these new @nnnnnate mirrors a little feed moment—because each scribble shape paired with a mirror is brilliant. They’ll make you do a double-take walking by. Based in Canada, Nate handcrafts these wooden sculptures with built-in mirrors. They’re perfect as a standout piece or styled in multiples. Only four left—head to the website!
Oh, it’s happening again … and it’s our favorite time of year (maybe yours too). Holiday in July is back—featuring a brand-new collection of works under $500 by our artists, going live Friday, July 11. The 21-day countdown starts now! Mark your calendars, and in the meantime, check out a few of the cuties headed our way for the release. ✨
Today we’re celebrating freedom, creativity, and the incredible power of self-expression. In honor of Juneteenth, we’re spotlighting the radiant work of @faresmicuephotography—an artist whose surreal self-portraits tell bold, beautiful stories of identity and imagination. Her images speak volumes without saying a word. Let’s keep lifting up voices, visions, and vibrant perspectives. 🖤❤️💛💚
Instagram, meet Berkeley! Our newest addition to the team, she’s the friendly face you’ll now see on Saturdays when you stop into the gallery. A Des Moines native, she’s currently a student at @drakeuniversity and is teaching art classes at the @desmoinesartcenter this summer. We’re excited to have her on the team! Stop in today, 10am - 4pm, and say hi. 👋🏼
JUST IN 🌊 By the Water, featuring nine artists who capture the feeling of summer—whether it’s the shimmer of sunlight on the ocean, a quiet lake at dusk, or abstract interpretations of coastal light. With a range of styles and mediums, the collection brings together soft blues, sandy neutrals, and the breezy calm that defines a day by the water. Altogether, it feels like ocean waves in art form.
Can’t give it all away just yet … but here’s a little peek at what’s coming tomorrow. The phone’s been ringing off the hook for these @taylorcoxart brushes, and new framed smalls by @karinolah are always a fan favorite. Do you spot that bit of @katiecraigart plaid in the corner? More pattern goodness from her drops tomorrow, too. This coastal collection goes live in the morning—come back Friday for a dose of *visual* sea breeze!
Work with a view 🖼️💫 We’re hiring a full-time Digital Content Coordinator to lead social media, content creation, client experience, analytics, and more. The gallery already has a strong online presence—now we’re looking for someone with the initiative and experience to take it to the next level. All the details are on our website!
It was bittersweet taking down the anniversary show. I loved having every artist displayed on the wall. But a new show is going up this week, and the summertime theme is making the transition easier—these works are warm, nostalgic and relaxed. Like laying-under-an-umbrella-on-the-beach kind of relaxed. Opening this Friday: new works from nine artists, including the piece pictured here by @jordanc.gallery, titled Saltwater Sugar Pop. ⛱️
If this doesn’t make you want to jump in the water, I don’t know what will. Our next group show features nine artists, each using colors, styles, and imagery that capture the essence of a summer day. @jordanc.gallery’s painted umbrellas, @katiecraigart’s preppy color combos, @taylorcoxart’s sculpted waves, @jaimemccarrierart’s stylish portraiture—plus so much more. This collection is arriving at just the right time, and it’s an invitation to bring summer into your home so it never has to leave. Opening next week, on Friday, June 13! 🏖️☀️💦
And we’re hiring (again)! We’re looking for a full-time Digital Content Coordinator to manage social media, content creation, analytics and more. The gallery already has a strong online presence and we’re looking for someone that has the initiative and experience to take us to the next level. Find all the job details on the website and help us spread the word (please and thank you). 🙏🏼
Allison first met many of these artists last May during our 5-year anniversary show—and her love for their work has only grown since. As @the.allisonjames is a true color lover, her *current* top ten includes @aghartpainting, @banyanbridges, @bekahworleyco, @jimmynavarroart and more. This is our favorite thing: artists supporting artists. #artgallery #artistssupportartists
A continuation of the Equinox series @hellochristinaflowers began for our May anniversary show, each piece is painted with acrylic and ink on raw canvas. The series explores themes of possibility and becoming. First trained as an architect, Christina brings thoughtful intention to every shape and color. She says, “Painting requires me to be completely present. My work reflects moments of total awareness—like diving into a cold wave or stepping into sunlight—capturing them to be shared and experienced again.”
We’ve always helped people find art they love. Now, we’re helping them design the rooms where those pieces live. Thoughtful design isn’t about perfection—it’s about creating a space that feels good. Our approach makes design accessible, affordable, and flexible for what you need. Want to learn more about how we combine art + design? Let’s chat! #artanddesign #artfulinteriors
We’re talking a lot about @the.allisonjames this week, and here’s why: she has an incredible eye for style, she’s said the sweetest things about her artist peers, and her own collection brings so much joy. Every detail—down to the titles of her works—is thoughtful and energetic. We’ve always been Team Allison. ✨📣
The prettiest arrangement, with @aneeshahstudio’s landscape as the shining star. As we continue to work with home stagers, realtors, and designers, it’s always a joy to see the final result. The furniture is placed, the greenery fluffed, and the art leveled—together, it sings a lovely song. 🖼️: Like a Miracle Brewing, Oil on canvas (framed), 24 x 36 in, available. #artfulinteriors
It’s the last call to take advantage of 10% off all art purchases—just through the end of today! Use code WEEKEND10 at checkout to save on any piece that’s been catching your eye (including this adorable pug by @trevormikula). Happy collecting, friends—and thank you, as always, for supporting artists and the work we love to share with you. 💛
Art-on-loan means we get to see these pieces “in the wild” and it’s fun to see how the art truly personalizes the space (as we knew it would). Designer @toledogeller reached out asking for art to place in her @mansioninmay curation—and it was an easy yes! Thank you for the invite, Jessica and team. It’s all so beautiful—every thoughtful design detail alongside the art. Photographer: @jacobsnavely
Our designer, Hannah, put together a beautiful vision for a curated space featuring this just-released painting by @brittanyatkinsonart—and what a dream. The artist gives each portrait a name, so here meet Azahea. Acrylic on canvas with a white floater frame, 31 x 25 in. Psst ... use code HELLODESIGN to get 10% off an interior design package in celebration of our launch month! #artanddesign #artfulinteriors
Tina and Lily here 👋 giving this wall some love at @desmoineslibrary! The gallery has facilitated over 150 murals in central Iowa—it’s a passion project we don’t talk about enough. With that experience under our belt … want to know three secrets about painting mural?
🎨 Secret #1: The wall is a canvas—but it needs prep! Before a single brushstroke, we spend time prepping the surface, whether it’s cleaning, priming or patching. If you skip it, the mural could peel or fade way too soon.
🖌️ Secret #2: The first sketch is not pretty. That beautiful final mural? It starts with a lot of sketching, taping and mapping. It’s messy looking, but you have to trust the process—it’s essential.
💡 Secret #3: Lighting changes everything. Whether it’s an exterior or interior mural matters, and when indoors—lighting affects how colors look. Cool lights can make warm tones look dull, and shadows can mess with details. So you need to plan the palette based on how the room is actually lit (and test paint colors accordingly).
🌿 Bonus Secret: We always go a little off-script. Even with a detailed plan, the final touches often adapt to the space—maybe a plant, a chair, or a window line shifts the composition. We tweak colors, angles, or shapes so the mural fits right now, not just on paper.
We’re always thinking of new, interesting ways to get art into your hands. Art turned digital (swipe right 👉🏼)! New images are available for your art TV. Partnering with eight gallery artists, we’ve just released a new collection—100 limited editions of each. It’s yet another way to collect and enjoy art in your home! Bonus points if you collect the original to hang nearby … #arttv #frametv
Formally introducing @thefive15, after her work’s debut in the anniversary show. 👋🏼 Originally from Mexico and now based in Canada, Angie Quintanilla Coates creates compositions that radiate joy and an unapologetic, relentless optimism using bold color and geometric forms. This is a nod to her Mexican roots, and an invitation for anyone who needs it, to get a dose of what she likes to call dopamina mexicana.
We believe every room tells a story. Enter Hannah, our new Director of Design! We’re now offering interior design services that blend curated art with thoughtful design to create spaces full of personality and style. Our approach includes transparent pricing, sustainable vintage accents, and flexible implementation to fit your needs. With virtual support and clear communication, we make the design process seamless and enjoyable. Reach out—and let’s design your dream space together! #artfulinteriors #livewithart #reallifestyle #curatedspaces
After a traumatic brain injury, @theodoramillerfineart found it healing—even necessary—to experience rest through creating. Her ever-evolving visual language and calligraphic designs are an authentic expression of her Greek identity, with the 7 Wishes series at the forefront. This signature style features the phrase “7 wishes” painted repeatedly on the canvas—the Greek words for hope, health, luck, love, happiness, joy, and peace. These are Theodora’s personal wishes for the world and for the homes of her collectors. 💫
Dinner by the sea? Yes, please. Debuting tomorrow, @theodoramillerfineart’s newest collection features her well-known 7 Wishes style along with a Mediterranean dining twist—ceramic and painted plates. Theodora’s creations are an authentic expression of her Greek identity, and you can feel it in this collection—they’re fresh and vibrant. 🍋🍒🐟
Ever wondered why galleries exist when you could just DM the artist? Here’s why:
✨ Curated quality: We represent artists whose work has been thoughtfully selected—ensuring that our clients are investing in exceptional, credible art. This saves you all the research time.
🖼️ Expert guidance: From framing to installation, there’s expertise you won’t get alone. We help you navigate style, value, and long-term significance. Galleries build collector-artist relationships and support your evolving taste over time.
📦 The team behind the artist: We invest time, energy, and resources into promoting our artists—through exhibitions, marketing and collector outreach. With the goal to support an artist’s long-term career, a gallery manages the logistics so the artist doesn’t have to—they can focus solely on creating.
We’re always happy to brag on our artists—they’re incredibly talented. And we’re grateful for the opportunity to champion their work. #artgallery #galleryowner
Wall-to-wall art—that’s what you’ll find here. Our latest show, celebrating our anniversary, features every artist we currently represent. About a third of the pieces have already found their forever homes (cue the team happy dance!), and we’re excited to keep sharing the rest—each one worthy of its own grand debut. Original art is an investment—an intentional choice to put your dollars toward an artist’s talent, small business and supporting career. And as your gallery, we’re here to help you find the next piece that feels just right. Hi! 👋🏼 #artgallery #artcollectors #collectart #investinart
It’s been six years, friends. I can’t believe it—but also, I can. This show is visual proof of our hard work over the years, featuring one piece by every artist we represent. That’s 70 artists and 70 pieces in total. I love seeing the full representation on the wall—it’s striking, meaningful, and, finally, motivating. If all this can happen in six years, what can happen in six more? And if you haven’t heard, this year also marks the introduction of our interior design services. Cheers to our artists, our clients, and six years of LLGD! #artgallery #galleryowner
Do you believe in art for everyone? Great, we want to meet you. We’re hiring a Saturday Sales Coordinator! As summer approaches, there’s so much more foot traffic in the @eastvillagedsm. This is an entry-level position for someone who loves art and invites others to love it too. Learn about the position on the website!
So, what are you getting mom? My email inbox is full of that question … so here are the gallery’s suggestions if you still need an original idea! We’ve picked out ten pieces of art, all under $500—ready for local pickup, or we’re happy to send a digital gift card if there’s not enough time to ship before Sunday.
A few snapshots from the gallery today as we prepare for our big anniversary show this week. From installing and leveling to sorting and planning—we’ve been busy! I’ve had this installation vision in my head for a while, so it’s a dream to see it all come to life. We’re celebrating six years with one piece from every artist we represent. Opening this Friday—I can’t wait to share it with you!
It may seem old school, but trust me—it’s intentional. Letting a piece of art take center stage in the living room brings the home’s (and the family’s) personality forward. It’s a thoughtful way to spark conversation and create warmth. Maybe save the big, black TV for another wall … Original painting by @elsielarson and still available!
Let the charming Mr. Puddles and Moe introduce you to our newest artist, @trevormikula. 🐾 Based in Massachusetts, Trevor is a self-taught artist of 20+ years with a palette knife and a singular mission—to make people happy. From every day objects to pets with personality, his vivid imagination brings each subject to life. We’re excited to bring Trevor on board!
This is nothing but an appreciation post for the artists we work with every day. They’re truly an extension of the gallery team, and I hope they always feel that way. We’re so grateful for the creativity they bring to the world—and for the invitation to play a small part in sharing it. It’s been a week of highs and lows over here as we navigate some big changes, and if I’m being honest—sitting with the art on these walls has been my happy place.
Can you spot the tea kettle? 👀 This painted abstract kitchen interior by @daisyfaith is titled “Heart of the Home,” and it’s so true—the kitchen is where we all end up spending the most time (for better or for worse). It’s where family gathers and friends are welcomed in. 🍋✨ #artgallery #affordableart #interiorpaintings
We currently represent seven artists outside of the US, and @joykinna is one of them. Based in Vancouver, Canada, Joy creates beautiful neutral paintings framed in raw wood. Her work is the accumulation of feelings, memories, landscape, subconscious and conscious thoughts that form into colors and shapes. More to come Wednesday. 🤎
It’s the best hearing an artist talk about their inspiration firsthand. @angelachrusciakiblehm shares how fashion has always been her muse—recalling the joy of dressing up as a little girl and the feeling of glamour it gave her. Her latest work captures that feeling, featuring painted wooden assemblages adorned with oversized bows and ribbons. The full collection is now available!
TOMORROW 🎀 bows from @angelachrusciakiblehm—nine new works! Each hand-painted wood piece is carefully assembled into playful bow and ribbon shapes that feel like a party. Based in Georgia, Angela was the very first artist to show on the gallery walls when we opened *almost* six years ago—and her work has been a fan favorite ever since.
We’re saying goodbye to eight smalls by @aneeshahstudio today. 👋🏼 Anee’s painting style—whether in florals or landscapes—evokes emotion and tells a story. I especially love seeing them side-by-side, knowing the heart and talent behind each one. Three landscapes are still hanging around, waiting for the right home.
If you’ve purchased from us before, you already know. The art world can be incredibly wasteful and that’s why we choose to use recycled packaging whenever possible—to help reduce that impact. Of course, the safety of the artwork comes first. Every box, bubble wrap, and corner is carefully considered. When we reuse materials, we let you know with a recycled sticker on the outside—so you’re not surprised by the *prelove* your package has seen on its second journey. It’s a small, intentional choice we make every day to remind Mother Earth that she’s the queen she is. 🌎👑🌿
We had it scheduled to share @aneeshahstudio’s work today, but it feels serendipitous that it falls on Earth Day. Based in Boston, Anee creates soothing landscapes and florals that stir emotion through rich, dark tones and vintage frames. A scientist turned artist, she draws inspiration from the quiet beauty and calm of nature. Her newest collection of florals drop tomorrow—come back then to see all nine new smalls! 🌿🥀
Happy Easter weekend, friends! This is their time to shine—the iconic bunny paintings by @huntslonem. Vibrant, instantly recognizable and full of charm, these adored bunnies are hand-painted and set in vintage frames sourced from Parisian brocantes. Each one is unique and full of personality. A treasure for any art lover, they deserve the spotlight today—and every day.
East Coast artist @sarina.angell sent us her newest collection for the Eclectic Blooms show—and with just one piece left, it’s only right we give it a feed moment. This neutral piece is crafted from sewn polyester moire, forming sculptural flower bouquets that feel both delicate and dimensional. Sarina works with a lot of textiles, creating both fine art and wearable art—which is so much fun.
Not real butterflies 🚨 if you can believe it. A nature-loving artist working primarily in watercolors, @aghartpainting creates cruelty free taxidermy from painted paper. She hand-paints each butterfly and forms the paper to mimic a realistic formation. Each one is then framed in a shadow box. So incredibly detailed, you can’t believe it’s painted and not an actual butterfly. 🦋
New loops and boxes by @emksnyder🪡🧵 drop this Wednesday! Each piece is made with brushed paint and hand-embroidery on canvas. She sees color combinations as a game, with the aim to make as many variations as possible within a limited color palette. It’s a playful spirit that Emily says allows her to be herself, let go of perfectionism and make room for more happy accidents. That’s always the goal, right?
Eclectic Blooms is a vibrant celebration of floral inspiration through the lens of seven distinct artists working across mixed media. From bold abstractions to delicate textures, the exhibition explores the endless ways flowers can be reimagined through paint, collage, textile and sculpture. This fresh and layered collection invites viewers to experience the beauty of blooms in both familiar and unexpected forms. 🌺
📌 Team picks are in! This week, the team is sharing the pieces that made us take a second look. From dreamy color palettes to quirky style and whimsical charm, there’s something that caught each of our eyes. Bonus: Mention the favorite piece you see and snag 10% off.
🌸 Sara + @mrgiusti – That chef’s kiss color combo
🌈 Lily + @ettavee – Happy colors and rich dimension
😎 Liz + @suzy.lindow – Style and humor in every brushstroke
🌿 Tina + @alexandra.ackerman – Imaginative and lovely pattern play
It’s all in the details, and we’re (always) happy to share them with you. #artgallery
There’s a jazzy feel to @rockyreedart’s latest collection that is truly original. His newest pair, titled Figures No. 1 and 2, are painted on canvas with gestural paint strokes—creating movement in the figures that you can see and almost feel. The paint layers give it a texture that adds to the visual motion. Based in Iowa (one of the closest artists to the gallery!), Rocky’s newest collection can be found on the website. #figureart #figurative #figurativeartist
Introducing you to @noshii, the newest artist represented at the gallery—and debuting in this Friday’s show! Based in Richardson, Texas, Nosheen creates pieces from wood, cotton fiber and beads, drawing inspiration from Pakistan’s rich history of pigment dyeing and embroidery. Her Pakistani heritage deeply influences her artistic vision, particularly in her use of color, pattern and texture. Once a past lead watch designer with Fossil, Nosheen has channeled her creativity in all kinds of ways, and we’re thrilled to share her fine art with you. Coming soon!
New work by seven artists in this week’s upcoming show, including @jenna_brownlee, @marcyvreeland and @brittanysmithstudio! I know it might seem “expected” to have a flower as the subject, but I’m amazed by the million different ways a flower can be stylized and executed in the world of an artist. These three pieces here—all florals, all different artists and mediums, but representing something we all visually know. 🌺 Join presale on the website and opening this Friday!
This feels like a place where I want to be—handpicked sunflowers and @aneeshahstudio’s painted landscape to enjoy. Anee Shah is a scientist turned artist who left her decade-long corporate job to pursue her creative path and to stay at home with her littles. The charm of an unhurried, simple life is the catalyst behind her work (and you can feel that here). Based in Boston but truly an old soul of the universe, Anee is self-taught and creates work that evokes a sense of calm and inspires you to pause.
Up close and personal with a few of @haneens_haven’s art picks 👀 She described her design style as whimsical, eclectic and story-telling in last week’s live chat, and you can feel it in the collection she curated. These pieces are high contrast, rich colors and full of thoughtful detail. 10% off her favorites this month!
How it started vs. how it’s going 📦✨ It’s incredible to see the lifecycle of these creations—from the artist’s studio, wherever that may be in the world, to the gallery, and then onto you, where they’ll be cherished forever. We’re so lucky to work with such beautiful art every day and I am grateful. #artgallery #buyoriginalart
The cutest birdies you’ll see today 🪺 Flying into the gallery and back to you, this collection by @elianabernard goes live this Friday! Each one is $150 and a darling stand-alone piece or a fun addition to a gallery wall. Based in Texas, Eliana creates unique tile designs handcrafted using custom clays and glazes. Truly hand-made, each and every one.
Almost a decade ago, I met @haneens_haven through the @betterhomesandgardens Stylemaker event. I immediately became a fan of her warm, charming demeanor and her incredible style. I feel lucky to know her and learn from her regularly—she’s a great follow. She’s curated a collection of her favorites from the gallery, and you can really see her original style and design inspiration shine through her picks. Enjoy the collection and get 10% off any of her picks!
Lush, abstract botanicals 🌿🌸 by @neicyfrey are dropping at just the right time with the spring sunshine this week. Neicy, based in Spokane, Washington, is best known for her large-scale paintings, so it’s a joy to share this series of smaller canvases with you. Going live on Wednesday, April 2, nine new works will be available, all under $500.
From the kitchen table to scotch tape to persimmons, @bekahworleyco is the queen of turning everyday objects into vibrant, dynamic paintings. I’ve never dreamed of a tape roll calling my attention, but after seeing Bekah’s rendition, I might be convinced I need this in my own home. And her painted frames are the cherry on top. 🍒
Mailchimp is down, but that’s not stopping us from sharing pretty art. @elsielarson’s newest collection is now live on the website, with poppy bouquets starting at $710. Her textured paint strokes are folk-art inspired and I love getting in close. Between the warm weather and Elsie’s new pieces, I’m telling the world I’m ready for springtime to stay.
Why settle for one bunny when you can have ten? 🐰💖 Bright pink, with furry friends crowded in, Pink Hutch is the largest @huntslonem canvas we’ve ever displayed at the gallery—measuring 30 x 30 inches. Since 1977, Hunt has been featured in over 350 exhibitions at prestigious galleries and museums worldwide and we’re proud to be one of ‘em. 🥂
You can find me running around the gallery this week with a long list of deadlines to hit. But first—inspire the next generation. It was lovely to have a group of high school students in yesterday to share my journey as a gallery owner. I’ll never say no to the chance to influence a current (or future) art lover. #artgallery #galleryowner #gallerist #artlover
Inspired by folk art, @elsielarson is a third-generation artist who grew up creating alongside her mother and grandmother. We started as internet friends and became real friends after meeting at the @ettavee creative retreat a couple of years ago. It’s been so exciting to watch Elsie’s work evolve as she continues to perfect her fine art career, especially after spending so much time in the design world. Her latest collection—featuring this stunning large moth canvas—will be available this Friday, March 28 at 10am CT. Be sure to check out the preview in tomorrow’s newsletter!
I’m so excited to share that we’ve just opened our 51st show! Each time we set up a new exhibition, it’s a fresh experience—one that brings together amazing artists and unique pieces of art. It’s hard to compare one show to the next because every single one has its own vibe and energy. I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to share these one-of-a-kind works with all of you. Our newest show, Art of the Ordinary, is now up, and I’d love for you to take a look. Show number 51, here we go! #artgallery
If I did my math right, this marks the opening of my 51st show at the gallery. When I saw that number, I thought—wow, that’s a lot! But then I realized, each show is so unique, filled with incredible talent and original art, that no show is ever the same. And that’s why I stopped counting—there’s no comparison from show to show. Every new opening brings its own excitement and it’s an honor to share it with my in-person and online friends. If you haven’t yet, hop on the website and take a look at the newest collection, Art of the Ordinary. Show number 51, baby! #artgallery #gallerist
Art doesn’t get more fun than this. Florida-based artist @hayleysheldon creates wall installations focusing on tactility and color. Utilizing a catalog of shapes, she sews directly into wood frames using the fibers to create a translucent color field effect. And her newest collection is released this week! Live on March 26, 10am CT, five new installations full of organic fibers and shapes. The full preview will be sent in tomorrow’s newsletter. Hop on the list!
One of my favorite shows—and I know I say that every time—but there are so many moments in every day that each artist has turned into a colorful expression of wonder.
