I’ve had interesting reactions from client mothers when we looked at this image from @carolinewalkerartist new lithographs from @enitharmon.editions - one saw it as memory of a special time and the other as a traumatic memory of a dreadful time. And of course that sums up what it is to be a mother. Paradoxical. Electrifyingly brilliant and charged with some of your most wonderful memories yet also full of difficult times - seering loneliness perhaps, boredom (god I was bored when the kids were little!) trips to hospitals, worries, more worries and then helping our kids with their problems as they go out into the real world. I’m in awe of mothers. I haven’t met one yet who doesn’t carry more of the emotional load of raising her kids than the father. I take my hat off to you, to us all. 🤗🥰😘

Amazing to pop back to a client’s house today, have a cuppa and a catch up and take a photo of this incredible @charles.inge painting that I placed last year. I love match making works with clients. If only I could do the same with men and friends! 😂

Was last night one of my best art experiences ever? It’s certainly right up there. I suspect some of the things it made me think about may be some of the most enduring. An evening of wonderful coincidences, lovely clients old and new (P&M you are not old - you know what I mean!) all against a backdrop of beautiful paintings, placed in beautiful candle lit Robert Adam’s architecture. And then there was the conversation between @alison_watt_ and @smith.jayne.laura about the work. The amount of looking, academic research, historical research that is the backdrop to this work was truly mind blowing. And that’s before the artist has even picked up a brush and painted such sublime paintings. I have always loved and greatly admired the work of @alison_watt_ but last night I had a small teeny weeny glimpse into why these works move me so much. I’m afraid I can’t really quite put it into the right words. Which of course says it all. Huge thanks to @parafinlondon for giving me and my clients access to such a wonderful night, to @tristanhoare for their co hosting and wonderful space and of course to @alison_watt_ for the work. And I don’t just mean the finished paintings. I mean too, the WORK. The paintings are, in a sense just the last bit at the end of a lifetime of looking, thinking and deep reflection. It was all a bit mind blowing (see! I’ve said that twice so it must be true 😂) and is something I will never ever forget. Thank you 🙏

Spotted in front of this stunning @ceciliacharlton work today @candida_stevens @collectartfair. #twinningoutfits

It’s been amazing to see this beautiful video of my first major residential art consultancy project that I completed in 2014. I’m so happy to see that the work has stood the test of time and that I’d do nothing different all these years later!! A huge thanks to @swagent.ss for allowing me to share this reel and of course to my lovely clients who gave me the original brief. Congratulations on the sale 🎉🎉🎉.

This beautiful painting by one of my fav painters @charles.inge was painted last year in response to the Ukraine invasion. One year on I stand in awe of the brave people of Ukraine who have so heroically defended their territory and, in a sense, all of ours.

AMAZING to see these beautiful @carolrobertson.artist monos up in this frankly gorgeous cabinetry and space designed by @rachaelhardinginteriors. I’ve hung the works a touch higher in the space to draw the eye away from the TV and am especially pleased with how the works echo the circular lights on the wall. Another lovely team effort. Thanks to @roframes for beauts framing and installation.

So I was delighted this week to complete my first corporate job. It’s been a six month project from start to finish and I have to say that the satisfaction I felt on everything finally being installed yesterday was immense. The project comprised of selecting and hanging over 100 artworks. Of course, because it is a big corporate the whole thing is confidential so I sadly can’t share images or names except to say it was one of the city’s biggest law firms. It’s taken my capabilities and skills to a new level as an art consultant (I learnt a LOT) and I am now ready to tackle projects like this alongside my residential work. Please do bear me in mind - lots of my lovely followers work in big jobs in big offices and as a word of mouth business I would be so grateful if your office is planning a move that you mention my name as someone who can help. Thanks to all the artists, gallerists, framers and hangers who helped bring the project to completion. The client is absolutely delighted with the result.

A huge huge huge thanks to all my lovely clients who have taken the time to write me reviews. This has led to me being awarded the Houzz Best of Service for the third year in a row. I can’t thank you all enough. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I placed some of @halloandreaheller @parafinlondon glass works with clients last year and was delighted to see her next series at her beautiful solo show again @parafinlondon. These wonderful great fat dollops of hand blown glass in gorgeous joyous colours are somehow utterly, well, deliciously enticing. The trouble will be picking which ones are to go where.

I couldn’t help but do a shout out for my friend and neighbour Ruth. She is @forkful.food and I just got an email from her business account about the most delicious Valentines dinner for two! You can get it delivered for the weekend before Valentines or the week of and I have to say I drooled over every one of two choices of each of the three courses! It costs £100 for two people and it is delivered for free if you live in Wandsworth. This has got to be an extremely good option for those of us who would rather stick needles in our eyes than go to a restaurant for Valentines day. 😂

This is not one of my projects but I’d be immensely proud if it was. I’ve had an amazing day today with @spence1design visiting a major new project in Glen Eagles and I will be looking to pull together a proposal of Scottish artists, artisans and craftspeople in support of a beautiful @spence1design scheme. Please do DM me if you would like to recommend yourself as an artist or someone for this project. Does anyone know who did the interior here @thegleneagleshotel - it’s a masterclass in use of tonal colour and textures. Sadly the photo doesn’t do the nuances justice but there are several greens, the velvet sofa is a sumptuously delicious dark green with dark blue undertone and then the pink map as a wall piece, perfectly accented by lampshade is art placement perfection. Look how the marble table reflects the contouring in the map and the blue chinoiserie vases provide some freshness and texture and stop the scheme feeling too leaden. I absolutely love. What an amazing day.
