- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
With all customers, we deliver skilled precision and knowledgable suggestions, while respecting personal preference — after all, it’s their space to enjoy. Our installers begin with a walkthrough of each space holding the art to the ideal height— we then adjust based on the clients’ desires. Once the initial walkthrough is complete, the client can sit back and relax while we get to work.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
In addition to holding both a Bachelor and Master of Fine Arts, our founder, Wesley Clark, has owned and operated his installation business since 2007. Additionally, he has worked side by side with art consultants and interior designers choosing and laying out artwork for spaces. Clark continues to learn other skills that pertain to hanging art — for example, framing houses and hanging drywall which has helped to better understand what a wall can handle weight-wise with and without a stud. In the span of 13 years, he has worked for 2 years as an art handler/installer for a very well known retail gallery in Bethesda, curated shows, framed artwork, and is represented by 2 galleries — one in Baltimore, the other in Nashville. This background has provided a holistic approach to recruiting and training installers. Prior to participating in a project, our installers are able to properly handle the artwork, define the right look when pairing the piece with the space and the integral role of math in the designs.
