SERVICES INCLUDE:

ASSESSMENT & CONSULTATION
Laura’s initial visit is to conduct an assessment that allows her to observe your physical space and get a sense of your current aesthetic style and identify key areas of focus and traffic flow. During this visit you will have a chance to view a portfolio of artwork to help establish your preferences and budget.

ART ACQUISITIONS 
Following the assessment and consultation, a condensed portfolio of artwork will be brought to your home for you to select from. If you require collection management of a current or new collection, Laura can help you source new works, replace outdated or damaged frames, and rotate pieces to new locations or arrange relocation of work as required.

FINE ART LEASING
If you want to rotate & refresh your art collection quarterly, annually, or you are new to your location and not able to commit to a collection immediately leasing a signature piece or pre-selected collection can be an excellent option. Laura is pleased to offer leasing of a full service, budget based, pre-selected (for corporate spaces), collection suitable for your home or workspace taking care of the details for you.  The corporate collections are strategically selected with attention to detail and collection risk management in mind to ensure your investment is returned in equal value aesthetically.  The selected artist maintains ownership of their art.

DELIVERY & INSTALLATION
Details and price of delivery and installation vary based on artwork or collection and are arranged for every transaction.
