WHAT I DO

Art enriches life, and Kate Finds Art helps match beautiful art with people and locations—rooms, homes and businesses. I love art of all price ranges and varieties and I work respectfully within budgets.  I love discovering and showing the work of local, sometimes less-well-known artists of the highest caliber—particularly women artists— and in some cases can facilitate direct, money-saving purchases from those artists. Here are many testimonials from clients and artists.

In other cases, I source art from galleries large and small. I know the range of works those galleries carry (often, only a tiny portion of what they have is shown to most customers). I can also work with interior designers or architects, to understand and enhance the look and purpose of a space. I have a relationship with excellent framing galleries in Denver and Boulder. Finally, I prowl flea markets and antique markets for unique art and collectibles, finding vintage frames for favorite art.

And I view almost everything as art—not only paintings and sketches and photographs and ceramics and sculptures, but quilts, dishes, furniture, material, even clothing. I look for beauty, intelligence, wit, emotion, and the promise of lasting satisfaction in ownership.

HOW I WORK WITH YOU

My process starts with a brief phone or in-person conversation in which we discuss your basic needs, taste and interests, as well as my approach and services. That’s followed by a paid consultation called an Engagement, ideally at the place (home, room, office) where the art will live. It’s a fun process. If you engage me for a consultation, we’ll set aside at least 60 minutes. I like to talk to both partners in a home, if there are two, unless a client is buying for her or his personal space. I’ll get you to show me art and objects that are most meaningful and delightful to you. I’ll ask questions and maybe even look at old family photos. I’ll have you swipe through dozens of examples of art on my iPad, marking images that you like, love, don’t like or hate. I may take a few pictures of your room or home (all such images remain totally confidential). And then, from that that initial engagement, I’ll gather examples of art to show you the direction we will take if you decide to give me a project.

 A Project is the second engagement. It can be as small as finding art for a single wall, or it may involve a room, hallway, home, office, business, restaurant or other space. We’ll agree on the scope of the project and I’ll write up a project contract, including, if you set one, a maximum art budget.  

WHO I AM

I was born in Pittsburgh PA, the youngest of four children and the only girl. My mother, Natalie Roth Meyers, was determined that her only daughter be cultured. That translated to a young life of museum and gallery going.

I had a Sister Corita print with a quote of Winnie the Pooh in my childhood bedroom on Inverness Street in Pittsburgh. For my 21st birthday my mother bought me a watercolor of an ironing board that I had fallen in love with by a local artist named Bob Bowden. I still have these pieces and they still make me happy every day.

Much of my early career was as a journalist, first in New York City, then in Colorado, writing for national magazines. I interviewed thousands of people—from A-list celebrities in sports and entertainment to women in all walks of life—and became good at sussing out the tastes and loves and personal histories of everyone I met.

Until 2021, I was the Editor of Colorado Homes & Lifestyles, Colorado’s leading design magazine, where I had the tremendous good fortune of meeting artists from all over the state and seeing art in many of the region’s finest homes. I have been inspired by the vision of homeowners and collectors.

I am an eager traveler to art destinations and go to great public and private galleries and art shows in North America, Europe, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.
