Creating a personal art collection to make your living space feel warm and inviting is accomplished through recognizing these 3 essential factors, along with my recommendations for affordable art sources.
In the heart of a bustling family life, Hannah Carvell's home stands as a testament to her love for art. As a screen printer and seller of art, Carvell's home is a vibrant, colourful canvas that reflects her personal style and passions.
Carvell's collection is a diverse one, ranging from mass-produced prints to special pieces gifted on special occasions. While mass-produced prints may have muted colours compared to hand-made pieces, they can be a good option when the original art of a loved artist is too expensive. Carvell's collection includes works from artists she admires, such as Nelly Duff and Ben Eine.
But the heart of her collection lies in pieces that hold personal significance. A portrait of her pet, painted by Sally Muir, feels like a family heirloom. An original Anthony Browne Gorilla drawing from a favourite childhood book holds a special place in her heart. And the portrait commissioned by an unknown artist on her first wedding anniversary, depicting her and her husband with their pets, is a cherished memory.
Carvell's home studio serves as her creative hub, where she hand-pulls her vibrant, layered prints. But she doesn't limit her art collection to her own creations. She recommends platforms like Holly and Co and Instagram for finding independent artists. She has acquired art from various sources, including auctions, flea markets, and during travel.
Carvell's home is a living example of her philosophy that art does not have to be expensive to spark joy in one's home. She believes that not every piece of art needs to be an expensive masterpiece to be meaningful. She treasures the pieces she has collected, whether they are expensive or inexpensive, original or mass-produced, as they are things she truly adores.
In a world where trends can often dictate what is considered 'good' art, Carvell encourages everyone to trust their own taste. Purchasing art based on trends can lead to underwhelming results. Instead, she advises to buy what you love and what speaks to you.
Carvell's home is a testament to this philosophy. It is a creative space filled with art that reflects her personality and her journey. It is a space that is both stylish and functional, a space that juggles creativity with the demands of a busy family life. And it is a space that Carvell shares with us, offering insights into her creative process, her love for art, and her tips for decorating a creative home.
