Top 5 benefits to owning Art

1. Art improves your mood. 

We’d all like more happiness in our lives and art can do that! Studies have shown that being around art can improve your wellbeing & happiness. I challenge you to buy a piece of art you enjoy and see the benefits of it.

‘Art should always evoke an emotive repose in the viewer.” Fran, Director.

2. You are supporting the artists. I love something tangible that I can see and feel and know that someone else made somewhere, sometime. It’s like, the good side of materialism. It’s just so special to own something rare that someone has made by hand.

3. Your room will look great (and your guests will think so too). Art is an integral design element. A space can be totally transformed by art alone. Sometimes, a piece of artwork can be the whole starting point of design, creating exactly the mood and energy that you want to fill your space. As an artist, I personally match colour palettes and design elements from other artists' work that I own when displaying them in my home. It’s amazing how art can really make you feel at home, but also how boring would your home look with empty walls?

4. It’s a good investment. Pieces of original art increase in value over time (and you can appreciate in other ways every day). You can purchase 1 off art prints of my art which is the closest you can get to an original art piece from a digital artist. I also offer limited edition prints and small batch prints that can also increase in value as an artist becomes more recognised. This is due to the rarity of the prints.

5. It inspires you and others! This depends entirely on the piece of art but still holds true. For example ‘Grande Jeté’ could be displayed in a ballet school to inspire students before classes. Or it could be displayed in a ballet dancers bedroom to inspire them to continue to follow their dream of becoming a principal dancer.

I hope you enjoyed reading my Top 5 benefits of owning Art. There are many, many more reasons to own art but these are my top ones. Referring to number 2 ‘Supporting Artists’ it may also be important to you to own art made by artists in specific locations. As a Yorkshire based artist who frequents Leeds often for inspiration this could be an even deeper reason to buying art from linesbyfran.com. Whatever the reason (feel free to let me know as I would find it really interesting) I hope you go forward and buy art that benefits you and that you enjoy every day.

Big love,

Fran.
