Good Morning and welcome to the all new Artful Living site. After being in the retail fine art world for many years, I've come to realize there is a whole group of people who are missing out on the beauty and wonder of having art in their lives. I guess there is a stigma attached, or maybe an apprehension about the cost of buying art, whatever. All I hope is that Artful Living will be a very user friendly site where we share some valuable and "artful tips," and you can shop on line for some very artful products. We hope to take the mystery out of the art world, and encourage people to explore the world of art around them.
Art is Everywhere!! Just the other day I was in line at my bank in Bordentown City. I happened to look up and noticed the lovely plaster and gold leaf detail all over the ceiling. It was just lovely, and I smiled thinking I was pleased that I had noticed it....that was the craftsmanship from an artisan from long ago. Art is in the schools, Senior centers, galleries, frame shops, book stores, in the beautiful sunset as you drive home.....
I hope you will bookmark Artful Living and we will chat soon! As always, be safe and well, and
Have an Artful Day!

As a former art teacher, I love the attitude that "art is all around you". One just has to be enlightened to see it. I love looking up in urban areas to see finely crafted architectural details, often a surprise. We make an artistic decision everyday when we dress and accessorize ourselves and decorate our homes. The first step to enjoy art, beauty and aesthetics is to open your eyes and awareness! It is free to see art in galleries. That is another little step.
