Art plays such an integral part of a completed project. It can add drama, set the style, fill a void and add color and texture. When designing a project, I often look to a client’s artwork for inspiration and have planned color schemes and lighting around existing artwork. Whether the artwork is where a project begins or is added later, I believe that it should always be a reflection of the client’s taste. —Christine DeLashmutt
