So Fine Art Advisory
LET ME HELP YOU FIND ART FOR YOUR HOME
A few years back, I launched the email newsletter “So Fine” to explore contemporary art and art history, both for my own education and to share with others. This endeavor unexpectedly became a gateway to the world of art collecting. Inspired by iconic collectors like Herb and Dorothy Vogel, and contemporary enthusiasts like Kaitlyn Tucek and Matt Tripodi, I started a collection of my own. Here’s what I’ve learned about collecting so far: once you start, you won’t stop. After years of informally curating art for friends and family, I’ve now decided to embrace this role officially.
As an art advisor, I do more than just fill the spaces on your walls. I guide you in selecting artworks that enrich your home's narrative, focusing on pieces that are visually captivating and brimming with character. These artworks come with intriguing backstories about the artists, ensuring they serve as conversation pieces, not just decorative elements.
A testament to my approach is my recent collaboration with a client. The painting I helped her commission, intended to be the centerpiece of her home and kickstart her collection of original art, caught the attention of Four Hands, a renowned furniture designer and wholesaler. This piece was later featured in their inspiration brochure, leading to a fruitful partnership between the artist I worked with and Four Hands. This experience highlights how my collaborative approach can benefit not only individual collectors in starting their art journeys but also in creating collections that garner attention from design firms and support artists in expanding their professional networks.
Whether you're a first-time art buyer or looking to add a conversation-sparking piece to your collection, I'm here to assist! Every artwork has its story, and I am passionate about helping you discover those that resonate with yours—at every budget.
Join me on this exciting journey of transforming your space. Let's fill your walls with art that is not only seen but felt and talked about. Your home, your story – let's bring it to life with art that holds meaning and impact.
Your Home, Your Story. Let's Fill Your Walls with Conversations.

“Everyone who visits compliments the piece.”
Working with Alexa was an absolute joy! Right from the get-go, she brought an energy and warmth that made the whole process a delight. Alexa really took the time to dive into my tastes and what I was looking for in art, and her expertise shone through as she navigated me through the world of artists and styles.
Thanks to Alexa, I commissioned a stunning painting that's now the star of my living room – it's a total showstopper and everyone who visits compliments the piece.
Alexa didn't just connect me with an amazing artist; she was instrumental in picking out a design that sings in my space and matched my color palette perfectly. The whole journey was fun, effortless, and totally stress-free. I’m super grateful for her guidance and can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a vibrant and knowledgeable art advisor.
