Last Sunday morning I made my way to a loft in the west end, home to Edward Griffith and Tamara Robbins Griffith, Managing Editor of Style at Home. While I cradled their eleven week old kitten, Winston, in my arms, Tamara gave me a tour of their chic and cozy home. Her passion for art and design is evident in every detail of their stylish space.
The kitchen is the heart of the home. Fine art in the kitchen serves to increase the soulfulness of the room where so many hours are spent. Lisa's cozy, bright space is a perfect example.
It was an exceptionally busy Festival of Smalls opening, with tonnes of little works finding new homes. Curious to see examples of smalls groupings in private spaces, I asked our fabulous web designer, and client, Steven Ishiwara to send us a picture of his recent acquisitions. In their bedroom, Steven and Brad grouped six of Greg Shegler's bold dollar bill works, creating a dramatic wall in a minimal space.
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.
Art Interiors' annual exhibition the Festival of Smalls (artwork from $55 – $250) is days away. We are currently hiding away little gems of art that arrive in the gallery daily, until their unveiling on Saturday November 13th, at 10am. Lisa and I played around with a few to create several eclectic groupings, mixing mediums and styles. Here we reveal a few pieces from the show, and illustrate examples of pairing small works.
