Cave paintings served as communication such as \u201cBison herd at the river,\u201d or \u201cBeware! tiger behind the big rock.\u201d
\nDepending on drawing accuracy, they may have offered entertainment value too.
\nCave art announced status \u201cI have a horse,\u201d recorded events, genealogy, & conserved history.
\nSimilar to modern day vision boards<\/a>\u00a0painted scenes like \u201chunting magic<\/a>\u201d were for abundance of prey.
\nDepicting religious elements, Gods were painted larger & fancier than the other guys.
\nArtists were often considered Shaman with a worthy place among society.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Somewhere in history paintings lost the distinction of serving people, by becoming something \u2018for\u2019 the walls.
\nWe hear evidence of this often.
\n\u201cMy dining room needs a painting. The living room is crying for a piece. Our lobby needs art. That hallway needs\u2026 something.\u201d
\nRooms themselves don\u2019t give a hoot.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Art is for & all about you in the best way. It will enhance your dining experience, enrich living, comfort patients, occupy & stimulate clients, entertain visitors and keep you company. Transition areas with art will orchestrate inhabitants \u2018room\u2019 experience. Ie: Pastel mauve hallway paintings leading to bedrooms entices restfulness.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Paintings aren\u2019t passive, but an active engagement, a real life energy exchange.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Like the art of our cave ancestors, they relay story element, educate & inspire. They become members of the family in a way, hanging around for generations. Paintings are windows to wilderness and possibility. It\u2019s lovely to have reminders of rivers & rocks, without tigers lurking. Art can be an invitation to wander in nature.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Impressionism is a balance between abstract and representational, breathing life into both modern contemporary spaces and traditional.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Spaces don\u2019t transform with art. Art transforms the lives within those spaces.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yet, art may still be an afterthought.
\nThis came to light during a meeting with an investment firm manager about their art collection. Rather, their lack of one.
\nTouring me thru glassed offices after hours, it \u2018didn\u2019t come to mind\u2019, she said \u201cdespite spending a lot on renovations,\u201d gesturing me to the lobby with 3 plastic chairs, a plant and outdated magazines.<\/p>\n

Reception staff and lobby are the first impression of your company.
\nViewing bright windowed luxury offices with cushy chairs offered a different impression than the lobby tucked in a corner with uncomfortable seating.<\/p>\n

Thou unintentionally, it sends a less than positive message to your clients. If this room is an afterthought, so are they. Asking clients to invest, without investing in them, you face challenges before you begin. Seeing to their comfort and experience builds relationships. It expresses you value them & the relationship.
\nAttention to what seem like smaller details have huge returns. Great coffee served in a tasteful pottery mug, comfortable seating with a window or art view, nature ( the plant counts) pleasant scents and sounds contribute to a positive experience, set the foundation for positive meetings to follow. ( or in clinics, positive treatment).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Original art, comfortable handmade wood chairs, side tables with real books, pottery mugs ( not styrofoam) offer tactile experience, \u00a0state conscious consumerism &sustainability.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\nThis attention to detail gives a lasting impression, rather than a temporary feel. Have you sat in a sparse lobby with disposable furniture, no pictures, wondering if the business is moving or closing?<\/p>\n

Strongly influenced by visuals, paintings were our first language.
\nWhat does your vision board look like? what influences surround you, your family, staff, clients? You have the power to make a difference with your choices.
\nWelcome clients ( patients, visitors, guests) a quality experience and you both reap rewards.<\/p>\n
