For this home, the couple worked with interior designer Kate Blocker and Austin-based art consultant Amy Sawtelle to integrate their existing collection with new pieces acquired to complement the architecture and interiors. Under Sawtelle’s guidance, they discovered a number of contemporary artists, such as Philadelphia-based painter Dan Walsh, whose wall-sized geometrically patterned canvas offers a bold counterpoint to the living room’s clean lines and neutral palette.
At the other end of the home, where the guest room is located, Power created a passageway that acts as a hall and, more importantly, a gallery space. Here, original Georgia O’Keefe drawings rest side-by-side with a Tinka Tarver sculpture installation. The showpiece of the guest bath is a life-sized abstract nude by America Martin. - Western Art & Architecture
