Respect Art!

We don’t get no respect. 

The art and framing industry sure doesn’t get the respect it deserves.  Despite the PPFA, despite the Art & Framing Council, despite Larson Juhl’s advertisements in home décor magazines, art is more often that not an afterthought in the decorating process!  People buy paint, furniture, rugs, wallpaper...and then maybe think about the art. 

A framed piece of art changes a room faster than any other single element.  Art is far more personal, more expressive, and more eye-catching.  And it does not have to be expensive, as there is an enormous range available.

The good news is that there’s a book just published that hits this concept right on the head.  The book is The Fine Art of Wall Design, by Suzanne Gallagher.  It’s a great contribution to the art & framing industry, as it is written for the consumer in a straightforward, upbeat style.  She includes Wild Apple artwork (not enough, in my opinion, but what would you expect from me), and we like the book so much that we feature it on our website (see the bottom right hand link at http://www.wildapple.com/fineart/catsearch.asp). 

Here’s hoping you get the respect you deserve…
