ArtVenture Testimonials

I love original art, the creativity is uplifting and adds an individual spark to my home. Ingrid and Katharine have wonderful style and knowledge, and have curated a group of artists that I would not have seen otherwise. I am very happy with my purchases, they bring me (and my guests) pleasure.

- Cape Ann homeowner

When our investment management company outgrew its original quarters, we were

excited about utilizing the new space to express our success and convey our Cape Ann roots through the acquisition of original works by local artists. Having known Ingrid Swanson for 30 years and having purchased a Zygmund Jankowski painting from her ARA Gallery, I immediately knew where to go for advice.

Ingrid and her curator partner, Katharine Pickering, provided us with a broad array of abstract art from Cape Ann artists, listened to our reactions to the pieces and personally hung the final choices to best express the solidity and permanence of our firm.
