Bright and Beautiful Art: Marissa Vogl

Meet Marissa Vogl... I am completely in awe of her beautiful paintings, confident and strong brush strokes, and her use of color. Marissa has that unique quality of bringing a feeling of happiness to those who view her work, and from my recent conversations with her, she is just as lovely in person. I could go on and on, but her paintings speak for themselves, so enjoy!

Decorating Ideas - How to Arrange Art on Your Walls

When a customer purchases one of my watercolor paintings, I often get asked the question, "How should I arrange the art on my wall?". Even though this is a very good question, there is no right or wrong answer. Some formal dining rooms call for symmetry, while modern living room spaces might entertain a mix matched collage. It simply is a matter of your personal taste. After all, people buy art that pleases them and makes them happy; therefore, do what feels natural and right to you. I have collected an assortment of wall displays to give you some ideas.
