Devoted clients/sisters Ilyse, Hailey and Lesley Lustig have been passionately collecting art for years. For milestones (from birthdays, to new babies), it is not uncommon for two of the lovely Lustig ladies to spend hours in the gallery in search for the perfect gift for their sister. With these personal narratives in mind, I was especially excited to see Ilyse's collection. Despite getting ready for a big move, Ilyse invited me to her home, which she shares with her husband and two children. We talked life, love, and the great fortune of having sisters.
Late October, I spent ten days in London immersed in an intense cultural adventure. I found refuge sipping tea with Lisa's sister, Steffanie Brown, in her gorgeous Notting Hill flat. Despite the distance, Steffie & Garvin have built up a solid collection of work from Canadian artists. I personally adore Toronto artist Lizzie Vickery's large photograph of London in miniature - the focal point of their living room. You would hardly notice the rainy London days in their cheerful space, filled with colourful, contemporary pieces.
