Creating a Gallery Wall in Your Home

My miniature art collectors often create groupings of art, salon style, on their walls. This makes them curators of their own personal gallery walls in their homes. I had to smile when I saw Helen's recent blog post:

My friend Helen Beacham agreed to be my guest blogger today. See more of Helen's work at HelenKBeacham.com

A few days ago, one of my collectors emailed me and allowed me to see where she had hung a framed print she'd bought from me on a previous trip to Charleston. I just love to hear from my collectors...it makes it so much more real to know how the final chapter of my work turns out! Check out THIS LINK to a website to learn how to hang your own Gallery Wall! You can accomplish this with original art or with prints & photography. You can mix and match frame colors and styles too, so don't be afraid to create a statement wall!

My print "Charleston Piazza" is the one at the bottom left. Notice how the subject matter, colors and frame choices all vary. It still all works together, don't you think?

Maybe these are all memories of where this couple has traveled. Maybe not. It really doesn't matter.

Thank you Helen K. Beacham!

Here is a picture of one of the many art gallery walls in the Keirce home. Some of the art is mine, but it's mixed in with artwork from friends .

Loved this article and had to smile. I just recently finished framing all the art I had pinned up to my walls. Every visitor since I finished the framing says "Your room looks just like a gallery" now! It came out a lot better than I thought it would with a variety of frames.

I intermix art I bought with art from friends and my own best pieces, to the point that I can't just wave a hand at one of the walls and go "that wall is all mine."

But my sketch wall will return in a small way when a large glassless frame I salvaged gets reworked with foam core or cork board in it to pin loose sketches to!

Robert, I bet your gallery is a beautiful one! And it's so nice to hear from you (and Ari) again. I hope the writing and art continue to feed your soul these days! Thank you so much for your comment.
