As seen in Midwest Living magazine, Liz shares her living room's artful highlights.
You'll spot a few of our gallery artists in her home, including Angela Chrusciaki Blehm, Kristi Kohut
and Allison James. She also mentions her love of Midwest-based artists Ashley Mary
and Kevin Brent Morris.
"Liz Lidgett likes to call her new Des Moines gallery her happy place. Discovering art has always been a draw for Liz. Now she has a dedicated space to help other people do the same. In addition to selling art, Liz advises people and institutions on art purchases and helps nurture the art scene around Iowa’s capital. And she definitely takes her work home. Liz uses her light-filled living room as a testing ground for creative ways to display artwork. She also constantly tinkers with the layout, shifting to incorporate furniture and baubles nabbed at estate sales or online auctions. (Scouring sites like Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, 1stdibs and Everything but the House for bargains is a bit of a hobby.)"
“It’s a room that will never be complete,” Liz says, “because I love playing with the furniture and experimenting with art.”
