As someone who appreciates art, but tends to run into roadblocks when planning a gift for someone…read morespecial, Lauren facilitated the ideal experience for me and I can't recommend her enough. From start to finish, the process was simple and enjoyable. Lauren's approach mixes consultation and taste in a way that draws from existing household art and the taste of the intended recipient. In my experience, she quickly curated a list of quality options that fit within my price range and wife's interests. For a cherry on top, I also got a chance to learn about local artists, different mediums, and styles from a very credible (and extremely nice) professional in Lauren. I can't wait to work with her again!

Lauren is absolutely amazing. I worked with her to purchase art for a condo I had moved into. She…read moreworked with me to figure out my tastes and budget and was frank (in a good way) about which existing pieces I should keep and which I shouldn't. Lauren has great knowledge of local artists and suggested two wonderful pieces from local artists, which I bought. She also recommended some great photographs. Finally, she worked with me to create a beautiful wall collage of photographs I have taken. She has a good eye for keeping costs down and we were able to frame them at a much lower cost than I had anticipated. Also, Lauren hangs the art - something I would screw up. Lauren is a professional. She is very responsive and is a pleasure to work with.

Hemphill Fine Arts is one of the few galleries across the city off the National Mall and one of the…read moreeven fewer commercial galleries in DC. Located on 14th St NW in the U Street neighborhood, it's a small gallery in a commercial building open Tuesday-Saturday 10AM-5PM. You can make an appointment or just walk in during those hours. Once they buzz you in, follow the sign to the elevator and take it up a floor or two. Once the elevator opens, you'll see the tall glass door inviting you into space. Before you explore, sign the guestbook, read about the gallery's history, and take a pin (for free!). As you wander through the gallery, you'll see it's really two main rooms and the exhibits change every few months. The exhibit I saw was very modern art forward with perfect lighting making it look good on Instagram. If you're in the area, stop by. It's free and will only take 10 minutes, but it's worth it!
