How to Bring Real Art Into Your Home (Even on a Budget)

Finding the perfect art for your space doesn’t have to be hard—or expensive. You can fill your home with original, meaningful pieces without breaking the bank. With 35+ years of creating and sharing art, I’ve helped countless collectors find pieces they truly love. Here’s how you can too:

1. Follow Your Heart

Art is deeply personal—it’s meant to make you feel something every time you see it. Bold abstracts, soft landscapes, vibrant colors—trust what speaks to you.

Ask yourself:

🡢 What will make me smile every time I walk into this room?

🡢 What story or moment does this piece capture for me?

🡢 What inspires me and brings me joy?

🡢 Think about your space: Are you filling a wall or designing an entire room? Keep that vision in mind as you browse.

2. Understand Prices

Beautiful art doesn’t have to cost a fortune. Here’s a quick guide:

🡢 Original paintings: Unique, one-of-a-kind, often higher-priced.

🡢 Limited-edition prints: Affordable, still special, and unique to your collection.

🡢 Smaller works or prints: Perfect for starting out—many under $100.

Buying art is about connecting directly with the artist—supporting creativity instead of big corporations.

3. Size Matters

Where will your painting live in your home? Picture it on the wall—how does it feel? I can also customize my paintings to fit your space perfectly, so it’s just the right scale.

Need help visualizing a piece? Email me a photo of your wall and the dimensions at stephaniedclair@gmail.com and I’ll superimpose the artwork so you can see it before it arrives.
