When it comes to art in my home, I’ve come to realize that it should be more than just filling empty spaces. Six years ago, I hastily selected pieces for a gallery wall in my dining room, but now I find that they no longer inspire me. The art I chose back then lacked meaning and soul, and I want to change that.
Reflecting on my past approach, I see that true art should touch you or hold significance, regardless of its price or where it’s purchased. Curation should be intentional, not just about filling holes on a wall. In contrast, my bedroom is adorned with art that I’ve sourced and cherished over the years, each piece holding a special memory or connection.
As I consider revamping my living room with meaningful art, I’ve explored various avenues to find pieces that truly resonate with me. Whether it’s a photograph from my husband’s camera or an embroidered artwork, I want each piece to reflect our unique style and personality. Inspired by the authenticity of Dan Pelosi’s gallery wall, I seek to infuse our home with art that speaks to who we are.
Instead of rushing to fill my frames, I’m taking my time to discover art that truly speaks to me. Whether it’s a vintage find or a contemporary piece, I want each artwork to have a story and meaning behind it. By curating our home with pieces that we love, I hope to create a space that feels authentic and personal.
For those looking to start their art collection journey, I’ve compiled a list of online platforms where you can explore and purchase art that resonates with you. From emerging artists to established galleries, these resources offer a wide range of options for art enthusiasts.
