Hospitality Art Placement at Arlo Midtown NYC

A project with Indiewalls
Some projects quietly live in your career long before you fully bring them forward.
One of those for me is a small print titled Fault Lines, placed by Indiewalls for a hospitality project designed by Meyer Davis at at Arlo Midtown, a hotel in Manhattan.
The work lives inside one of Arlo’s Alcove rooms — intimate spaces designed for meetings, conversations, and moments of pause throughout the day. My piece doesn’t stand alone as a focal point; it exists as part of a larger gallery wall, contributing to the overall atmosphere of the space.
And I love that about it.
Not every artwork needs to lead the room. Sometimes the most meaningful role is simply to belong.
A small piece inside a big city
Fault Lines is a graphic, architectural abstraction created in 2018. The original (22 x 30 inches) has since been collected, and the work now continues its life in print form through selective placements and licensing.
The composition is spare and structured — intersecting planes, shifting geometry, and a restrained palette of rust, charcoal, black, and soft neutral tones.
My work has always been less about statements and more about creating atmosphere — art that invites emotion rather than explaining itself.
About the space: Arlo Midtown
Arlo describes its hotels as “living rooms away from home” and “workshops away from the office” — environments designed for people who move through cities with curiosity and intention.
With locations in New York City, Miami, Chicago, and Washington, DC, Arlo has built a reputation for spaces that feel urban and intimate at once. It’s meaningful to know my work lives somewhere people sit, talk, think, and wait — woven into the rhythm of the place rather than set apart from it.

From studio to hospitality placement
The original painting of Fault Lines was created alongside a companion piece, Emerge. Both were selected for a juried exhibition at Bemis Arts in Seattle and have since entered private collections.
Seeing the work move from my studio, into a private collection, and then into a public space — reimagined in scale and presence — has been one of the most meaningful parts of this path for me. Paintings don’t stop where they’re made. They move. They live. They change rooms and relationships over time.
For Hospitality Designers, Art Consultants & Commercial Projects
I license select works for hotels and commercial spaces and collaborate with art consultants and hospitality teams on art placements. I also welcome inquiries from wellness-focused or care-centered spaces interested in calm, emotionally grounded artwork.
For Collectors
Fault Lines is also available as a fine art print through Gioia Wall Art.
