120: The Benefits of Working with an Art Advisor with Jennifer Findley of JFiN Collective

When we design beautiful spaces for our clients, we want the art on the wall to not only fit well in the space but also enhance it. I’m talking with Founder and Lead Curator of JFiN Collective Jennifer Findley about the importance of art and how to navigate the art collecting world as a designer, even if you’ve never done it before and find it intimidating. An advisor like Jennifer can help you find and purchase the right piece that will take a space to the next level–and still fit in your client’s budget!Jennifer will be part of the upcoming Gallery Talk we’re doing with the Design Coven on July 28 at 5 PM PT at Madison Gallery. Jennifer, along with Madison Gallery’s Owner/Founder Lorna York and Principal Art Dealer Rebecca Hiller (our guest in episode 119), will go through all the details of what it’s like to work with them and how you can help your clients embark on their art collecting journeys.About JenniferJennifer is an art advisor and the founder of the JFiN Collective, as well as an avid Op-Art collector. At the JFiN Collective, she provides art advisory and consulting services and helps established and emerging collectors develop, create, and maintain curated collections whether it be for investment, pleasure, or both. She mainly works with collectors interested in establishing institutional-level collections focused on Post-War Abstraction and cutting-edge Contemporary Art. She has a particular expertise in Op, Kinetic, Constructivist, and Hard-Edge Art from the 60s to the present.Through her access and connections, her clients have an open door and ‘first choice’ to the premier galleries, artists, and auction houses around the world—art that is not available to the general-public. Along with private and corporate collectors, she regularly consults with museums, curators, and galleries on artists, acquisitions and sales. Last year, she was invited to present in San Diego Design Week on finding inspiration for a collection and integrating art and design and was featured in Modern Luxury as “the curator to know” and a “Power Player” in the San Diego art scene.Featured in this episodeFeatured deck: Radiant Crystal CardsConnect with JenniferWebsiteInstagramAre you an interior designer or are you interested in Holistic Interior Design?
