“It was the hugest honour to be asked to be a selector for the Discerning Eye Exhibition and an absolute delight to spend two glorious days immersed in art. The standard of work submitted was so high it was a real struggle to restrict myself to just one wall… It was so liberating that, when selecting from the open submission, we had the Artists names concealed, it took away all of the context so we had to react to the work instinctively. I often design and build houses for clients with art in mind. I selected art that would transcend trends and had an eternal quality. I love the idea of smaller, impactful pieces that feel really personal. These are the pieces that can transform a space into a home. The art that you take with you wherever you go. I am so proud of all the hard work and talent that has gone into this exhibition.”
