In The Beginning

We've both been interested in art for as long as we can remember: visiting exhibitions, meeting artists and buying a few nice pieces. Wherever we went people we talked to asked where else we'd been, what we saw, what we thought and which artists we liked. So now we've decided to keep a record of our art related activities.

We're always looking for opportunities to discover and acquire interesting art but there's a bewildering array to choose from. Home stores like Ikea, TK Maxx, Wilkinsons and B&Q are a start point for mass produced art. However, we prefer something a bit more individual rather than just following the latest trends. Art shops and galleries are a better, albeit, more expensive option. But for the best bargains and the occasional surprise, you can't beat charity shops. We've already found a few unusual items for only a few pounds each.

We don't claim to be conventional art lovers and we're brave enough to choose less obvious pieces of art and experiment with ways of displaying them. Our walls and shelves are already looking more attractive and make an interesting talking point with visitors. In fact, our home is slowly turning into an art gallery.

Love Your Art
