Custom pieces: a reflection on what's important

I love custom work. I think it's incredible to have work on your walls that not only reflects the artist that you love, but also reflects you. Not in the sense that you can see what they are seeing in a painting that they made or a feeling from sculpture, but rather, this is something that this artist made just for you—this is part of your story. As we are spending this time secluded in our homes, what are things that are coming up as important to you? What are you missing the most? What are you enjoying the most? As an introvert, I am loving this time that I get to be by myself, and so I am finding that I really am loving that my home is a haven; that it is a safe space for me to feel calm and like I am able to be whoever I need to be. While this is said of me as an introvert, I am also well aware of how my extroverted friend is feeling in being cooped up and unable to see her friends as often as she would like to. In my home I have custom pieces that make me feel at home, whereas my friend has custom pieces in her home that are conversation starters for when she is entertaining. She is often inviting people over—or FaceTiming them now—so a conversation piece is more her style.

We are working with some pretty incredible artists and have put together a list so that we can pair you with the perfect artist to paint a portrait of your family, your furry friend, your childhood home, your favorite landmark, the place you got married, the place you were born, or whatever you can dream up! Let us know if there's something in mind that you'd love to capture in a painting to cherish forever.
