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.
My husband David was turning 40, and what to get for him was proving a challenge at best, so I looked to Erin Vincent for help. I thought of 10 of his favorite things: from an Alpha Romeo to Mike and Ikes candy, and then sent the list off to Erin to do what she does so well. A couple of weeks later, voila! 10 wonderful 4?x6? boxy sculptural artworks for the gift of the decade! They sit on his desk and are stacked and played with by everyone in the family- each one a great piece unto itself, but wholly one fantastic tribute to David!
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.
