Client Profile: Jennifer O'Brien and David Lee

Gracious and stylish Jen O'Brien, and local celebrity chef David Lee opened their home for us to capture their impressive collection of art from Art Interiors.

Here is a sampling of what we uncovered.






So I asked Jen a few questions:

What draws you to a particular piece?
 I just know right away when I see it, though I tend to like more contemporary works.


What is your favourite piece that you own and why?
“Relish” by Patricia Murphy-MacDonald.
It is so well painted, I love the colours and it it a perfect piece for a dining room - not too serious. 

And I don’t even love relish!

Do you notice similarities in style/genre in your collection?
I love beach scenes, and tranquil water works. And moody portraits. Generally pieces that are contemporary in style.
