Friend and former Art Interiors manager Larissa Furlong boasts an impressive and personally familiar collection of art. Known to me are the works of art she purchased from the gallery over the many years we worked together. Larissa's reaction to art was always immediate: she fell in love quickly and knew when she had to own a particular piece. These images show a sampling of works by emerging and established Canadian artists collected over the years with her fiance (and my cousin!) Frank. Brilliantly grouped with old family photographs, antiques and mementos from their travels, they are part of an aesthetically rich and diverse collection replete with personal history.
