When we give art we are choosing a unique, original and memorable gift. It is a very personal gesture that creates a strong bond with the person who receives it. There are also countless options for personalizing the piece with framing.

When buying art for someone else there are a few things to consider. Here are some Tips:

  • Their taste in art. (It is easy to determine this when you visit their home)
  • Their household decor, such as colour schemes and style.
  • Size of the artwork. (A small apartment versus a large house)
  • Is the artwork inspired by a memory or memento, a trip, a favorite place, the recipient’s hobbies or interests, or a significant occasion?
  • Decide on where the art will be displayed. A living area or bedroom, a study, a man cave, or a work-related space.
  • Determine your budget. 
  • Another option is a gift card.
  • Ultimately if you are unsure take them to an art show and note which pieces they are drawn to.
