Framing Design
This is the way I view art sometimes — as practical design. I view design as a subcategory of an overall umbrella description of art that in this case can be enjoyed and serves as a practical purpose. I’m a decorative finisher with a background in Art History, so when I go into a museum to view masterful artwork, I am always looking at the walls and the over all exhibition design. The two work together to give the total effect.
If these sofa fabrics can be framed, then certainly this sofa by Italian designer Gaetano Pesce can be viewed as art as well. It’s only $23,500, museum prices by my book.

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
