What our clients say.

Mahurangi East
What an amazing holistic approach, guiding us on acquiring art and creating an amazing art collection for our home and garden. This holistic approach meant getting to know my family, introducing us to artists and their works which were beautiful and interesting, while also representing concepts which were meaningful to each family member.
The end result was an aesthetic elevation of our home and surrounding grounds. What was once a space that was merely graceful, is now a beautiful home that reflects the taste and personality of our family and will provide an emotional touchstone for years to come."
We have learnt so much from this process, about art and objects, our own aesthetics and what is important to surround our family with.

Remuera
We started as art buyers and ended up as passionate art collectors. But it was the process that was so rewarding. We were taken on an incredible journey where we were gently encouraged, given options, and then an end result which was better than we ever dreamed of.
The architecture, interior furnishings and artworks all complement each other resulting in a space which we just love living in, which reflects our personality. We needed a space that worked on an intimate family level through to an elegant setting for hosting corporate dinners. We have ended up with so much more.
A truly personal, enjoyable and fun experience. where we learnt so much along the way. So much so, that we are now happily repeating the experience in our beach house at the moment.

Omaha
We engaged Clare Mora after buying some pieces from Artform Gallery, prior to moving into our new build in Omaha. We already had quite a bit of art we wanted to hang in our new house but needed Clare to help us curate it and then complement it with some new feature pieces.
She absorbed our existing art ethic and created a cohesive language through the way it was curated. The display, framing (in some cases) and hanging of the works transformed our home and the way we feel about our artworks.
She was easy to work with, we had a good laugh and our family loves the end results.

As art buyers, we met Clare after purchasing a number of pieces from her gallery in Matakana. This was the beginning of a wonderful journey.
Her approach was to gently expose us to fine art, wall sculptures and stunning objects of interest for our beach house - all of which just looked stunning.
Clare listened to what appealed to our family and our day to day needs and transformed our environment into a highly personal aesthetically rewarding space.
We have found her to be on point, sincere and a lot of fun to work with.

Los Angeles
What amazes me is the detail that everything is thought through. The artworks all work individually, they all work together as a linked collection and work together with the interior of our home. Plus the aesthetics make us individually happy and as a family. Just so successful, we couldn’t be happier.

Matakana
The process of curating our collection and sourcing new artworks to complement and enhance it was handled in a professional manner from start to finish. Our expectations were not only met but also exceeded.
