Advisory Process

Discovery: Initial Consult

We will have an initial consultation via Zoom or in-person, based on client’s preference and location. I will also send you a brief client form - these first steps will allow me to understand the basic parameters for your project as well as your timeline and collecting goals.

Proposal: Curated Art

Based on your project (single piece or full-home), I will send you relevant documents and a deposit will be required to secure your spot in my project calendar. Once received, I will obtain measurements and photos of your spaces and begin to source works of art.

I will present options, via Zoom or in-person, for your review. Art is fully customized to you and your space, based on your aesthetic and budget. Proposal will include artist information, pricing, and any available discounts.

Living with Art:
Selections and Placement

Once you have made your selections, I will oversee and manage all logistics including payments to gallery, shipping, framing and installation. The result: living with exciting and unique works of art; art that serves as a source of inspiration and joy and enhances your living spaces.

Research has shown that looking at works of art increases blood flow to the brain and increases serotonin levels.¹

  • "Michelle did a fantastic job sourcing art for our new apartment in Washington, DC. She was able to capture our style, energy, and even our values (pieces were from Creative Growth, an organization that supports artists with development differences). She made the experience of bringing art into our living space such an enjoyable and meaningful process, and I’m incredibly impressed with how seamless everything was."

    Rebecca Wiser, Washington, D.C.

  • “I recently hired Michelle to select some art for my home. Michelle has a fantastic eye and is passionate about finding the right pieces for her clients. I am very pleased with her work.”

  • We were looking for our first real art purchase but weren't certain where to start. Michelle listened to us, understood the space and our budget, figured out our taste, and introduced us to an artist and piece that we absolutely loved. It's the jewel of our dining room: we love seeing it everyday and get so many compliments. We look forward to acquiring more art with her in the near future!"

¹ A 2011 study by Dr. Semir Zeki, Chair in neuroaesthetics from the University College of London, showed that brain scans of people who looked at works of art had high levels of blood flow to the brain and increased quantities of serotonin. Another study, by Dr. Dacher Keltner, psychologist at UC Berkeley, indicated that experiencing the feeling of wonder and curiosity when viewing art promotes healthier levels of cytokines.
