Lisa Diamond Katz and Shira Wood founded Art Interiors in 1993. Since then, they've developed a solid reputation among decorators and art collectors as an excellent source for work by young artists. Appearances on over 20 television shows have showcased their keen eye for raw talent and expertise in custom framing, and they have been featured in countless home and décor publications.

Lisa Diamond Katz graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree from the University of Western Ontario. While working at a well-known poster publishing and distribution company, Lisa realized customers were spending more on frames than the reproductions inside them. She envisioned a place where people could buy original pieces of art at affordable prices. Partnering with Shira, she started Art Interiors in her parents’ basement, and they have remained true to their vision of an innovative art gallery, dedicated to making original art accessible and affordable.

Shira Wood studied Fine Art at the University of Western Ontario. After graduating in 1992, Shira worked for a custom furniture company before moving on to the Toronto Design Exchange, where she created original, hand-painted designs for custom furnishings. An artist herself, Shira understood the struggle typical of young artists: finding a place to show and sell their work. For over ten years, Shira and Lisa have successfully collaborated to introduce up-and-coming artists to the public – novice art buyer and seasoned collector alike.
