Marie Kondo believes that if we simply sort through our belongings and only hold on to items that “spark joy”, that we will be transformed,  inside and out.  She says there is no better feeling than “surrounding yourself only with things that you love.”  The mental and physical clutter fall away, and you are left more aware of your truth- who you are and what fills you with joy.

As the summer season comes to an end and we begin to prepare our homes for the cooler indoor months, consider this: when you look around at the spaces you live in, does your artwork spark the joy in you?  If not, it’s time to find art that does.

Latitudes Fine Art can create any of our images in any size and finish.  It’s time to surround yourself with things that you love.
