NKS ARTSOURCE

I thought I should update all with what I am currently doing. I started my own company a year ago, NKS Artsource. It was always a dream of mine to have my own art consulting business. I am so happy that I am able to do what I love and balance my family with that. I have a showroom in Minneapolis across from International Market Square. I enjoy working closely with artists along with interior designers. I love working with large projects along with introducing art to new clients. Finding the right piece for a client is the ultimate.

Hello


Hello! I can't believe Joel talked me into doing this. I live in the Minneapolis area. I am an independent art consultant. I actually go out there and sell the art that everybody else does. I went to school at UW Lacrosse and have my degree in Art and Anthropolgy(and my mom was worried I wouldn't find a job.) I have worked for several different galleries over the past ten years. I never knew that my job really existed or that I could fall so easliy into this . I sometimes may do one piece of art for a client's home or I may do their whole house. But I make art the fun part of their home and I love what I do.


Last summer I took a leap of faith and went out on my own. I had enough contacts and clients. I office out of a beautiful gallery that sells hand signed Picassos, Dalis, Chagalls, Miros, and too many others to mention. I bring in my own mix of local, national, and international artists that are working today and put them into the gallery. It is an amazing mix and the response has been great. I am always looking for new artists to bring in and to work into new projects. The photo is of the gallery where I work out of. I never realized in college that this is what I was suppose to do, but I couldn't be happier. I get to work on comissions with artists and work vicariously through their talent to come up with what I see in my head. I really enjoy selling art for my artists.
