Artwork for shared spaces
Art that belongs in a place
Most of my paintings begin with people, places and the smaller parts of everyday life. If you are finding artwork for a business or a space where people spend time, I would be happy to talk about what might suit it.
A real local connection
From the studio to a coffee shop
I wrote in my journal about preparing a selection of my paintings for Coffee at Odd Socks in Cirencester. It was a lovely feeling to see my work somewhere people could come across it during their day, without having to visit a formal gallery.
If you run a café, guest house or another independent business, perhaps that is the kind of connection you would like your walls to have too. There is no standard package. The right starting point is the space, the people using it and the kind of work you would like to live with.
Different spaces, different needs
Small hotels and guest houses
Guest rooms, reception areas and quiet lounges can suit paintings that give people something to notice without demanding attention. If you are furnishing a hotel or guest house, I can show you the kinds of original work I make and discuss whether any available pieces feel right for the space. I do not currently offer a set hotel art catalogue or installation service.
Care homes and retirement living
Family scenes, gardens and familiar places may offer subjects for shared rooms and corridors. Decisions about artwork in a care setting belong with the people who know the residents, including accessibility and practical requirements. I can discuss the artwork, but I do not claim specialist healthcare design expertise or make clinical claims for it.
Hair salons and beauty spaces
A salon is somewhere people sit for a while and take in the room around them. A small collection of gentle paintings can be an alternative to mass-produced wall prints. If a particular piece interests you, please ask about its availability, size and presentation rather than assuming it will suit every interior.
Cafés, studios and independent shops
The local café display has shown me how nice it can be to share art outside a gallery. If you are interested in displaying paintings, we can discuss whether that means buying an original, hosting a display or another arrangement. Nothing is agreed until we have spoken about the practical details.
Tell me about your space
It helps to know where the art would go, how many pieces you are thinking about, the size of the wall and whether you want to purchase a piece or discuss a display. I can then tell you what is available and whether the idea works for me.
