hidell brooks gallery has a new website! we did not think it was enough just to expand our existing gallery to double the space, we needed to overhaul the website as well. we listened to our clients and were frustrated ourselves that our old site was done in flash therefore the site could not be pulled up on iphones, ipads, imacs and the list goes on.

a very sweet client of hidell brooks shared with us her finished living room recently. we had previously blogged about her room when she acquired the gorgeous rana rochat painting last year. we had to share with you the living room now with a few tweaks by her very talented designer holly philips of the english room. clients always come to us when a room is already completed and need the perfect painting. it can be challenging to say the least. there is something to be said about buying a beautiful painting and making it work in your room. we think it worked out pretty well here.

page laughlin painting looked as if it was made for this lovely living room
hidell brooks gallery had a fabulous time in winston salem a couple of weeks ago when we had our first ever pop-up gallery. we called it the hidell brooks neill gallery for the week. the pop-up was held at the gorgeous home of scottie neill. somehow her home ate up over 150 works of art we brought up to winston for the three day event. we had a wonderful cocktail party the first night with delicious food provided by 1703 restaurant. beautiful music was played on the piano and together with the art it was quite a treat.
Read Moreintro...kate long stevenson
hidell brooks gallery recently took a quick day trip down to charleston to check out the studio of kate long stevenson. we have known kate quite a while and thought she would be a perfect additional to our stable of artists. kate has a wonderful color palette and puts it to good use with deliberately thick brush strokes at the same time leaving lots of raw white canvas around to give them room to breathe. we had a fabulous time visiting with Kate who is the sweetest and lunch at rue de jean was delicious.

third time's the charm on a recent installation. there were a few framing issues starting with the plexiglass then somehow the brand new frame got chipped until we finally delivered for the third time handling the framed selena beaudry collage like a baby. the collage framed up is large and very heavy. it is quite an impact in the kitchen/breakfast room and with the contrast of the yellow lamps can you say gorgeous. hidell brooks got their work out! interior design by the fabulous lindsay coral harper.

hidell brooks is featured on hillliard studio method with a testimonial by our very own rebecca brooks. we have always turned to liz hilliard to keep us toned and strong to be able to carry around the amount of art we do on a daily basis. we cannot have our arms quivering when we are holding up surprisingly heavy art at client's homes for what seems like infinity but is actually just a few minutes.
