I love everything about this artist. Not only can the woman paint/draw like it's going out of fashion but she is funny and dry too. If I lived in NY we would hang out.

Thanks to all the artists and gallerists for such a fabulous day in Margate this week. Here is the glorious work of Sophie von Hellermann. Standing in front of this yellow one (shown at the brilliant @newgategap ) I honestly felt like standing in front of an altar. I swear this painting has a spiritual light emanating out of it and had the room not been full of people I may well have got on my knees and said a little prayer of thanks in front of it. The second painting felt different entirely. About 'the pig that never gets the truffles', it tied in with a much broader discussion I had had with my friend and client on and off all day about the stage in life we are at. In our early 40's we thought, naively, that once we were at the stage we are now we would have all the truffles - and yet now as we march on towards 50, many of us have found that life has thrown a spanner or two or three in the works and we are dealing with relationship issues, family issues, work issues or the worst of them all, health issues. So I look again at these two paintings of Sophies and I see two things: one a work of utter truth and realistic painful honesty - we never get to have all the truffles in life but the other - there remains bright yellow swirls of joy and hope and glory despite all that. It was an honour to have seen these works of great, quiet and profound thoughtfulness. .

Are you stuck for ideas as to what to get that special someone in your life for Christmas? A two hour ‘Art Gift Card’ can be used by the recipient for anything arty that they would like: an accompanied shop round an art fair to select a piece of work, a bespoke itinerary round galleries, a visit to an artists studio, or help hanging that photo wall that they still haven’t got round to doing!! The card costs £150 and the added benefit is you can come too?!!! It’s the perfect Christmas secret self gift! 😘😂

Check out my link in bio for the latest full reference from these lovely clients. This is Arun quite rightly looking on with awe at this incredible Gill Rocca moments after this painting has been installed. It took these clients nine months of learning, going to exhibitions and artist studios with me before they were confident enough to know an amazing painting when they saw one. But boy once they had their eye in, did we source some absolutely astonishing things. I love my job. I found this project immensely rewarding and loved watching these clients grow and develop their taste and engage with the art world. Thanks to all the gallerists and artists that spent time with us on that journey.

Just a little detail for a rehanging job I did for a client earlier in the year. She had this set of charming hand printed lino cuts and we thought they looked lovely in a simple line above her daughter's fireplace. The work is by @jamesnunnart. It's authentic work made by a real jobbing artist and retail at only £30 each. If you want to make an artist happy for Christmas please nick this idea and get in touch with him directly. #shopindependent #supportsmallbusiness #supportartists

Here is a gallery wall I've just designed and had hung for a client. And I have to say we are all delighted with it! If you would like one doing it costs £150 for a two hour consultation. Christmas present anyone? .

Would you trust your GP to do your operation? Unlikely because your GP is a highly trained generalist and you need a specialist for your operation. How would you feel if your GP said - 'nah dont worry I can do the op - I've seen a couple done on instagram - lets give if a go!' I suspect you'd bolt out the door and question their professional integrity. Do the same with interior designers who say that they can do your art. Instead pick a brilliant one like Nichola here from @penmaninteriors who is professional enough to be honest about where her areas of expertise are (she has tonnes by the way) yet is NOT AFRAID to bring in a specialist where they aren't. Yes she gives up some of the client's budget to another supplier but she knows it gives her client a better result which is all Nichola wants to achieve. I would rather put my project in the hands of someone like that because I know that if they hit a snag or some other challenge they will not hesitate to get an expert in rather than blah their way through. There's tonnes I don't know too which is why I refer my clients onto other art specialists who may have a different set of expertise than me if my client need art that I don't know anything about (Modern British for example!). Use the best people for your job. .

Love my art wall. Big landscape, little landscape, small ceramics ..... all equally beautiful in my eyes. The rail grounds the art more effectively Art should help transport you places I believe. @louisawarfield_artconsultancy helped me to acquire these pieces and very grateful I am too.

Been ill with flu! Couldn't even open my post let alone Instagram. I knew I was on the mend when my love for art started to return (for two weeks I only loved Lemsip) and I fell in love with this wonderful painting from @aliceherbst at the lovely show by @boogie_wall (Joe the woman gallerist has set up the gallery to represent us underrepresented women so she gets 10 points just for that, but she also got another 10 for having a great eye). The painting is titled 'Dancing in a Empty Room Full of People'. It made me feel a bit weird, a bit sad, a bit happy, a bit nostalgic, a bit discombobulated but mostly quite relieved that my days of dancing in empty rooms full of people are behind me. With red nail varnish on. Wonderful painting this. Oddly very grey but rammed with colour when you look. Spend some time with this painting, click it, enlarge it and roam around it. There's more and more to it the longer you look.

One of the services I provide is to bring work over to try on your wall. It may be that I can imagine how fab it will look, but my clients often need to see it in situ - something I totally get. These works were from Rebecca's first show with us @surfaceica. We are currently showing more of her work at Spirit of Christmas so if you would like me to come and try some on your wall just shout. .

Be bold! These are two of my favourite paintings but they no longer belong to me. They were on their way to Battersea Affordable Art Fair, but took a detour to a gorgeous house in Balham & now hang on the wall of a couple who - with the help of @louisawarfield_artconsultancy - took a deep breath & went BIG. Twice! The Wonder & As far as the eye can see weren’t painted as a diptych, but they look amazing together. They fill the wall & make a bold statement because of their size, but their subtle colours prevent them from dominating the space. I’ll miss them, but I’m not sure they could have asked for a better home 😊

My jaw dropped when I discovered the absolutely beautiful work of Billy Showell's. This is a watercolour - some of the finest work I have ever seen in this medium. We are delighted to be showing Billy's work this weekend at Spirit of Christmas. This piece called 'The Dressmakers Flowers' comes as a print (perfect for a Christmas present) or the original. Either are beautiful but I can't help but think Whoever nabs the original is going to be one very lucky ducky indeed. Pure class.

Absolutely loved these two paintings. I can feel that wierd hard softness of those plastic chairs coming straight at me. Something fabulously artifical about their extremely particular colour that they had. I found chairs like that comforting and menacing all at the same time. I suspect we had smaller versions at my primary school! 😩😂

Had a delivery of work today for a show I am doing next week @surfaceica - these works are by an artist I have worked with for more years than I care to admit. Her work is so beautiful (gesso, water floated silver gilt and then ink, pastel and varnishes over that) and I was so blown away by these two works that I had to get them up on the wall for a couple of days before I take them to the show. Shout if you'd like to come and look in person. .

Look at these two art beauties!!!! Hanging out at the show Olafur Eliasson at Tate Modern. I wrote a blog piece about this show and today's experience underlined my position on this even more. Even this pair said 'Great for selfies Mum, but what is the art actually about'. But if you can't beat em.......

How better to tell everyone I have dyed my hair silvery blue (winter palette) than by inadvertently dressing to match a painting you also LOVE. Fab private view at The Newington Galllery last night - there are some cracking paintings here - go see. .

Cut and Paste 400 years of Collage @natgalleriessco is a cracker. Even more so for this fab Pat Douthwaite work - one of my all time favourite Scottish artists. Titled 'Happiness is Green Shield Stamps' I couldn't agree more. I used to love how they would print out the machine, how the perforations would tear, how they tasted when you stuck them in and how satisfying it would be as your book filled up through the year towards Christmas. Simple pleasures. .

Did anyone else have their first ever girl crush on Wonder Woman?!!! I didn't realise it at the time but she was my first ever female role model. Thanks to this brilliant print by @amy_gardner_artist_ I've learnt that it was not only Lynda Carter we should have had the crush on her stunt double too. I absolutely adore this print 'Behind Every Strong Woman....' - it totally sums up the last few years for me. It's been my girlfriends and the women in my life who have been there for me and I am immensely grateful to them for that. They have carried me through and put the other side of some very interesting er 'stunts' 😂😂😂😘. Spotted at @artichokeprintworkshop at AAF last night!

I first met Moyra when we worked as innovation consultants on various marketing projects. She's gone on since to be a life coach, yoga teacher and all round feminist empowerer and the moment I saw this I thought 'THAT IS ABSOLUTELY BLOODY BRILLIANT! Called Be Your Own Icon you can go on a course with Moyra and paint yourself with the help of Moyra coaching you through the process both artistically and spiritually. Reviews on her website suggest it is a very special day indeed. There is a course running in Brighton but If there is enough interest I would be happy to host a workshop here in London and Moyra can come up and do it for us!

Today is World Mental Health Day. Mental health problems hit almost everyone at some point in a life time. For me it’s been depression, most of the time I wasn’t really aware that anything was wrong, it just felt like nothing was right. I’ve been so lucky to have friends that helped me, at times they didn’t even know they were, little kindnesses can keep people afloat. Love is a verb ❤️ #worldmentalhealthday #unskilledworker

Wowsers. I honestly think this is one of the coolest art placements I have seen in a long time. Huge thanks to the wonderful Anna, head of housekeeping @thenewt for the tour of the hotel, rooms and outbuilding suites. 🙏. Congratulations to @nickydobreeinteriordesign for an utterly jaw dropping project. If you have an interior or hotel project that you need art curating for this is what I do. .

I know really you are meant to say 'I love Frieze' or 'oooh I bought my clients so many things at Frieze' but honestly truly I go year after year and get overwhelmed (mostly), fail to understand half of what I see and come out feeling whether I really know anything about anything after all. Thank goodness therefore for this glorious booth from @frithstreetgallery. A stunning ceramic group from Daniel Silver and a beautiful (now sold) painting by Callum Innes. These I 'got'. These I loved and these are the kind of works I would joyously place with clients. .
