groupings

Devoted clients/sisters Ilyse, Hailey and Lesley Lustig have been passionately collecting art for years. For milestones (from birthdays, to new babies), it is not uncommon for two of the lovely Lustig ladies to spend hours in the gallery in search for the perfect gift for their sister. With these personal narratives in mind, I was especially excited to see Ilyse's collection. Despite getting ready for a big move, Ilyse invited me to her home, which she shares with her husband and two children. We talked life, love, and the great fortune of having sisters.
I rode the QEW Hamilton Express last Saturday, armed with a bottle of wine, and a small Elizabeth Lennie painting in hand. The destination: a bright and beautiful condo near Locke St., home to newlyweds Erika Woods (former Art Interiors' Manager!) and Brenden Desjardins.
Here is one vignette from Joanna Track's lofty home, where I spent the afternoon documenting her collection of art. Interior designer Teresa Track arranged nine of Francisco Gomez's floral works on mylar in a dreamy, airy grouping in the dining room. Their overall minimal composition, combined with the white box frames, accentuates the calmness of the space. I love the placement of these unconventional floral works.
Paul Semkuley, of re:source lifestyles, lives in an art filled condo in the sky, with partner Ian Swan. It was refreshing to see the unconventional way much of the art was hung in their space. Whether a piece was placed up high (above a mirror or bed frame), in an eclectic grouping in the bedroom, or against shimmering dark mica fleck wallpaper in the powder room, it was clear that art is a major focus.
The glamorous Judy Diamond unveils the major vignettes of art in her elegant home. It was a thrill to document her collection and thoughtfully curated space. Here are the highlights.
