How can a fine art consultant help designers find artwork that feels personal, intentional, and perfectly suited to a client’s home?
In this episode of Made to Design, Sarah Couture talks with Jen Nash-Kochevar, president of JNK Art Partners and co-owner of Gallery 366 in Minneapolis. Jen explains how fine art consultants collaborate with interior designers—from sourcing existing pieces and curating collections to guiding clients through one-of-a-kind commissions.
They also discuss the importance of budget, the creative relationship between artist and client, and Jen’s distinctive art-gifting experiences. Sarah and Jen close by sharing how the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art brought them together and why classical art, architecture, drawing, beauty, and proportion continue to inspire their work.
