The difference between a fine artist and an interior design artist lies in their chosen artistic preferences. The interior design artist possesses a unique set of skills that aligns more easily with the art needs of an interior designer. They are commissioned by designers to create specific works of art in specific sizes, styles, and mediums for their clients.
Art pieces play a significant role in every interior design project. The acquisition of art for clients by the designer is not just a transaction, but a meaningful and flexible process when working with a fine artist or interior design artist, as opposed to purchasing prints.
Some of us are both an interior design artist and a fine artist.

There's a unique value in hand done artwork by a fine artist or an interior design artist that cannot be replicated. This value inspires and motivates both designers and artists in their collaborative work.
A few 2024 Collaborations
High-end prints can be texturally embellished after the fact. However, they will always be prints. Shipping and border charges can make single, larger-sized wall-art acquisitions impractical for most project-by-project requirements.
Collaborating with a local interior design artist/fine artist can effectively address the cost issue. Large-sized art always makes a striking statement in a space, and with the services of an interior design artist, authentic hand-done art can be an added service for designers, saving clients money. The appeal of custom art is something we all understand and appreciate.
Flexibility, creativity, and high-quality artistry are critical attributes of a successful design artist. Designers are often artists, too, so they have a specific vision for the art. Using an artist who understands their ideas lessens their workload, allowing for a satisfying project completion.
The interior design artist’s work must follow the feel of the inspiration photos supplied.
An experienced interior design artist, with a background in interpretive or conceptual work, will paint the favourite parts of a designer’s inspirational photos. The artist confirms these concepts often over text or by phone, asking the designer questions to ensure the finished piece is completed as requested. This process of additions and interpretations makes the artwork truly custom.
The art can be any size in a price range that works for the interior designer.
I produce work on canvases and wood panels that are 1.5” in depth (gallery depth), meaning there is no need for a frame. Typical sizes can be supplied, and custom sizes can be ordered as I cut my own paint frames.
What does a career as a fine artist, abstract artist (or other descriptor that comes before the term artist) look like?
I am both a fine artist and an artist who works with designers, helping them bring their ideas to life for their clients.
A fine artist explores the evolution of an art idea and creates a collection or series. The ultimate goal for this kind of artist is to exhibit, be recognized by their peers, and have gallery representation.
Deciding on the kind of art to explore, for instance, abstract, watercolour, sculpture, photography, or another type, is often difficult for creative people. Many artists pursue multiple avenues, referring to themselves as multidisciplinary artists. I fall into that category.
There are many opportunities for an artist.
Of course, there are many opportunities for the individual artist. They can sell their inspired works to designers looking for a truly original piece for a client or pursue the trajectory of a fine artist selling their work online. The image of an artist working alone is often true, although occasional discussions with people during commissions and marketing opportunities provide engagement.
Whether working with designers or not, a career as an artist is very fulfilling.
