What the house looks for
If you see yourself in these lines, write to us.
Talent, and the work behind it
Whether it came easily or took you years, it’s in the work now. That is all we look at.
Mastery of the craft
You know your drawing, your colour, your surface. The work holds up close as well as from across the room.
A hand of your own
People who know your work would know it without a signature.
Consistency
Your newest painting stands beside your best.
Still at work
You are painting now, and you haven’t stopped.
The feeling
Someone has stood in front of your work and gone quiet.
Your word
When you promise a work, it arrives as promised.
You don’t need a famous name, a prize or a following. If the work is this good, the house wants to see it. Both founders read every letter together.
