Many interior designers I have worked with in Dallas know how to make art part of their design process. Working together to be able to get a deep understanding of what the client wants, creating a vision to transform a room, and coming up with innovative ideas to bring the client’s personality to the project is something that I really enjoy.
I find the interior designer will always have a superb understanding of the client’s wants and what they intend the space to look like. I’ll create some initial ideas, color palettes, and sketches to see which appeals best to the client’s taste as well as the aesthetic of the room.
I like to be as flexible as possible with their design requirements and build a relationship with them that involves far more than just ‘providing the art.’ It’s about getting to know their client, the space that the art will feature in, and their overall vision for the project. Typically, the interior designer introduces me to their client as it’s important that I get a true feel for the person I’m creating the art for. After all, art can be found anywhere, but when it has an emotional connection to the owner and tells their story, or reflects a certain aspect of their lives, that’s when my art really comes to life in their living space.
Being involved at every stage
I work with interior designers and clients who want to be involved with the planning stage of the glass making process – and that’s the way I love to work. That way, we can make any adjustments at that key stage of the process before it’s too late, and I always think they prefer being involved and seeing the work develop from a simple concept to a finished work of art hung within their own space.
Art is central piece in interior design
Glass art is such a crucial, central piece in interior design, it’s certainly not an afterthought or even an accessory. I have worked with designers who commission the artwork first and then build the room around that piece; delicately balancing color, materials, and style with the overall feel of the room.
Working with a Dallas-based artist
I find that a lot of Dallas-based interior designers like to work with local artists. Firstly, it’s easier to meet in person and work on the project together. The client can meet with us in my art studio on Dragon Street where we can brainstorm together. Secondly, Dallas has such a creative community and it’s great to be able to tap in and support that.
