More often than not, our clients find us through the love of one specific artist. They’ve been a faithful follower of an artist on Instagram, hear about us and then start following along the gallery’s journey. And we’re so glad to have them join the LLGD community! As part of the community, it’s our job to introduce new artists to you—and we love the opportunity to share artists that complement the work you’ve already collected. Not to say you shouldn’t purchase more than one work from your favorite artist. We have many clients who buy multiples from their favorites! And it brings them joy, which is most important to us. But we also see value in diversifying your collection—a variety of mediums, styles and artist backgrounds. And we’re happy to give suggestions based on your current collection.
We suggest exploring the work of
Katie Craig
and
Rebecca Stern. Katie Craig’s stripes feel as preppy as Karin’s coastal scenes while bringing a pop of warm colors into the mix—pinks and reds to add alongside the blues! And Rebecca Stern creates sculpted canvas that almost looks like water waves. The 3D canvas creates shadows and texture that mimics the fabric and textiles Karin uses in her mixed media pieces.
We suggest exploring the work of
Logan Ledford
and
Jenna Brownlee. AK uses a lot of jewel tones in her abstract floral paintings, and Logan’s palette reflects many of the same colors but her crisp, clean lines are the perfect contrast to AK’s gestural strokes. Their stark technique difference combined with their similar palettes is so powerful. Similarly in approach, Jenna Brownlee creates crisp, detailed up-close florals. It’s like you’re zooming in closer on AK’s gestural flowers and finding a perfectly meticulous painted flower. A stark style difference but both painting florals, a fun perspective.
We suggest exploring the work of
Ron Giusti
and
Hillary Howorth. Using more muted colors, Hillary’s abstract paintings share power in the small details. The intricate lines and small details make the work. Ron Giusti’s hard-edge iconography is a fun way to reflect some of the colors Elisa Sheehan uses in a bolder way. And his gold frames complement Elisa’s use of gold and silver in her Kintsugi lining.
We suggest exploring the work of
Vicky Reddish
and
Michelle Armas. Bright, warm colors are all shared here, but in completely different styles. Jaime’s pieces hold strong, bold lines while Vicky’s paintings have just the right amount of creative chaos. It’s full of layers and texture. And in contrast, Michelle Armas’ totems give visual “order” with stacked shapes. I love these three together—so good.
We suggest exploring the work of
Jose Romussi
and
Kristi Kohut. Similarly to Hunt, Jose Romussi is an internationally-known artist further along in his career where he’s perfected his craft. With the use of Swarovski crystals and detailed embroidery, his work reflects high value—a true investment. And Kristi Kohut’s added sparkle in all of her work mimics Hunt’s use of “diamond dust” in his work. Added sparkle to catch your attention and make it feel grand.
