Your Monday Muse #11

Museum-quality limited edition silkscreen prints created by Elizabeth Corkery in collaboration with artists such as Alyson Fox, and even using designs and ideas from ceramic sculptures by invited artists (2024, Print Club ltd.)

One of my greatest strengths as an Art Consultant is having a visual memory, and putting my visual knowledge bank to work for my clients.

I actually entered college with the intention of studying Biology. However, when I took Art History as an elective, I discovered it was easy for me to view a slide during class while listening to the teacher talk about an artwork, then regurgitate that same information while viewing the slide again a few weeks later during an exam. When my Art History professor said I could complete most of the credits toward an Art History degree in one year of studying abroad, I declared Art History as my major and chose to live in Italy for my junior year of college (best decision ever!).

Now, I spend my days visiting artist studios, galleries, museums, art fairs, and private collections (largely for my own enjoyment, but also) to absorb the knowledge I share with my clients. Then, when I learn about a client’s goals for how they want to feel when they view their art, or how they want the art to impact those who enter their space, I have a visual database of art options to reference and recommend.

Most recently, my art excursions have introduced me to art mavens here in Sacramento including Elizabeth Corkery (Founder/Creative Director at Print Club ltd.), Judy “JJ” Jacobs (Painter/Glass Artist), and emerging artist Roxanne Broader Young (Abstract Artist).

If you’d like to join me on my future art excursions, reply to this email to let me know your preferences (i.e. landscapes vs. abstracts; museums vs. studios; Sacramento vs. Napa; weekday vs. weekend; same-day vs. overnight; etc.), or simply to say “Yes, I’m in!”

I am currently scheduling VIP art tours for 2024 and want to ensure there is one designed especially for you!
