We moved in July, unpacked throughout August, and now it's time to decorate the new homestead. But while we're great at picking out sofa covers and bed linens, when it comes to deciding what to hang on the wall, we're lost. 
Passionate about art and understanding the frustration that comes when evaluating the works of artists, consultants Jorie Richman and Sandra Berman have come to our rescue. Representing innovative (and mainly local) artists in every milieu from giclée (fine art prints from a digital source using ink-jet printing techniques) to glass art, they're expert at viewing a space and knowing just what it needs (while keeping our taste and budget firmly in mind).
We were mesmerized by the abstract paintings of Richard Chard Chénier. Lyrical bronze sculptures from Francine Richman are full of movement. Modern realist painter Jocelyne Maucotel captures intimate moments in nature. And a giclée from David Farsi framed by a glass box simply captured our imagination.
For a $50/hour consultation fee (waived upon purchase), we can have affordable works of art ($200 and up) that we'll enjoy and appreciate (and won't be tempted to pawn off on others). And that's simply priceless.
