Audra

Formally trained as a painter and an art historian, Audra’s modern sensibility is informed by her historical perspective—bringing art and objects into context and conversation with the way we live today. 

Published in Galerie, Veranda, and Frederic, among others, Audra’s work carries the hallmark of an eye attuned to the exceptional and unexpected with an approachability that feels fresh and unencumbered.

Working with private and corporate clients nationally, Art/artefact interiors are meticulously curated and expertly built to be high on artistry, but not on pretense, informed by her years of experience in the art and interiors worlds, including with Galería OMR in Mexico City, Kate Brodsky of KRB in New York, and Maja Smith of Found by Maja in San Francisco.
