Consultancy
Alongside my own practice as a painter, I offer Art Consultancy to help you source the perfect pieces for your space. I work closely with artists and galleries and being an artist myself gives me a unique understanding and trusted relationship with both.
I have worked on both residential and commercial spaces and also have extensive experience as an Art Curator.
Whether you are looking for one piece or to fill a whole house, I am passionate about finding the right art for you. I whole-heartedly believe that art is integral to personalising a space, injecting character, texture and interest and helps to tell the story of it’s owner.
I understand that buying art can sometimes feel overwhelming and daunting, so I am here to guide you through the whole process from choosing and buying the artwork, to framing where needed and will also oversee the final install.
How it works
Images Studio Streeter and David Butler
I offer a free initial consultation to discuss your specific requirements and to get a sense of your personal aesthetic. I will then email you with a follow-up of our conversation, and an estimate of my time for the project.
Transparency is key and I work hard for the client, with no mark up on artwork so you will always receive the gallery or studio price. I am also passionate about using a fair commission structure with the artist.
Obviously every project is unique but the below gives an idea of how I work. So if you’d like help from buying one special piece or building a collection, whether you are an interior designer or private client, just drop me an email, I’d love to hear from you.
The Process
-
Stage 1:
Free initial conversation to discuss your specific requirements and get a sense of your personal aesthetic.
Stage 2:
I will send over an estimate of the time and cost for my services needed for the project based on our chat
Stage 3:
Once confirmed, I’ll follow up with a presentation of artworks that I think will fit your project and requirements. I have relationships with wonderful art galleries, advisors and artists that I source from direct.
Stage 4:
I refine the presentation with available artworks from the client’s preferred artists.
Stage 5:
I support you through the process of purchasing artwork and organise bespoke framing where needed, shipping and installation of all artworks with our professional installers.

I believe passionately that framing is paramount to enhancing and complimenting the art, aswell as it’s existing surroundings. It so often gets overlooked. I have worked with a brilliant local family-run framer for the last 20 years who hand-make all their frames and offer a wide range to choose from to suit all tastes. I can help ensure the perfect frame for the art and the interior.

I work with a wonderful professional and very reasonably priced art handler, courier and installer, Olly. He will deliver and install all artworks within the project, alongside me.
“Working with Lucy on this project was such an easy and straight-forward process. She absolutely got our vision and sourced the perfect art and frames to compliment our interior scheme, aswell as aligning with our client’s personal taste. We look forward to working with Lucy again”
