Decorating vs. Curating Your Home

I’ve always believed there’s a difference between decorating a home and curating one.

To me, decorating is about making a space look nice. Curating is about surrounding yourself with pieces that reflect who you are, what you value, and how you want your home to feel. The artwork you choose, the colors you bring into your space, and even the mug you drink from each morning all become part of your everyday experience.

That’s one of the reasons I decided to offer my artwork on more than just canvas.

My Self Love painting, which is now part of the permanent collection at Penn Medicine, was created to encourage healing, confidence, and self worth. I wanted that same message to live beyond the gallery wall, so I transformed the artwork into pieces you can enjoy throughout your home.

Whether it’s a fine art print hanging in your living room, a mug that starts your morning, a pillow that brightens your favorite chair, a decorative throw blanket draped across your sofa, or a shower curtain or comforter that adds personality to your bedroom, I believe art should be something you live with every day.

I also believe a well curated home isn’t about buying the most expensive furniture. It’s about intentionally choosing pieces that tell your story. Every room should have something that makes you smile, reminds you of who you are, or simply brings you peace when you walk through the door.

If you’re looking to bring meaningful artwork into your home, I’d love for you to explore my Self Love Collection.
