Advisory Process

Engagement of Services

I will send you a brief client form which will capture general information on your project. I will also send you a contract as well an an invoice for an Advisory Fee.

Discovery: Initial Consult

Once MA Advisory is engaged, we will have an initial consultation which will allow me to further understand the parameters for your project as well as your timeline and collecting goals. In order to really fine-tune your desired aesthetic, we will also take some time to look at many works of art and discuss possible gallery/artist’s studio visits.

Proposal: Curated Art

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, “story behind the art”, pricing as well as 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.

  • "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."

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.
