Since working at Art Interiors, I have marked almost every significant occasion in my life through the acquisition of a new work of art. My most prized pieces I make sure to hang where I can see and enjoy them most often. Here is a glimpse at the works I wake up to every morning.
A stunning modern interior provides the perfect backdrop for this contemporary art collection from Art Interiors. Particularly inspiring are the children's bedrooms. Amidst schoolbooks, toys, dolls and baseball hats, are playful and sophisticated artworks.

Cathy Thomas shares her home with husband Jon Dyck, nine year old daughter Sydney, and three year old twin boys Jack and Lucas. A few notes on their design aesthetic and art collection:
I rode the QEW Hamilton Express last Saturday, armed with a bottle of wine, and a small Elizabeth Lennie painting in hand. The destination: a bright and beautiful condo near Locke St., home to newlyweds Erika Woods (former Art Interiors' Manager!) and Brenden Desjardins.
John Barnwell, of J. R. Barnwell Design, Inc., welcomed me into his gorgeous home only three months after moving there. As I wandered through his rooms, I was stunned to find everything in perfect order so quickly after his move, including art up on the walls. John is an avid collector of art, and a strong believer in trusting intuition when choosing what pieces to live with. As he gave me a tour of his collection, what resonated most was that each piece had a narrative that would draw you in, whether it was the life story of the artist, or the tale of the gem he discovered on one of his travels.
