KATHY MCCARVER
After ten years of owning my own art gallery, I realized that many clients own beautiful and personal pieces that deserve a professional eye and installation to look their best. KM Installations is the culmination of my 30 years of photo editing, art consulting, and curating experience. My team’s tailored approach meets the client’s needs whether the project is a creating a salon style picture wall of personal photographs, artfully hanging a collection of favorite items, or placing an unwieldy piece of artwork in just the right spot. My services include installing and framing artwork of all sizes and mediums. Professional picture hanging and art installation enhances the aesthetic of the art ensuring the correct balance, height, and proportion. It is subtle, but essential. I love working with clients to create the experience of living with art and personal treasures.
““I have hired Kathy and her team to work on a variety of challenging projects. Kathy tackled the challenge of hanging antique hooked rugs, wall signs and a quilt in a huge barn residence. They also worked with another client of mine hanging paintings and antique mirrors...they were organized and creative, with flawless results. Kathy is a pleasure to work with.””
““I worked with Kathy over the course of a few years to install rotating art exhibits at our restaurant. Kathy has a great eye and brought terrific energy and creativity to the process. I recommend her work highly.””
A specialty of KM Installations is creating family salon style picture walls by incorporating personal photographs, vintage photos of past generations, travel pictures, even children’s artwork. These highly customized collections reflect the owner and make their spaces unique and intimate. Having worked as a photo editor in the publishing world for 20 years before opening my gallery, I approach these projects with an editor’s eye and use the client’s personal photographs and objects to tell a story…their story.
Working closely with each individual client, I edit and curate the client’s photographs and mementos, then creatively frame and arrange the images on the wall.
The possibilities are endless and the walls of personal photography allow the owner to share precious memories and enjoy their pictures.
““I went to KM installations after being disappointed by another installation company’s professionalism and attention to detail. KM Installations approached my client’s home with resourcefulness and efficiency. Kathy and her team happily and handily installed artwork and even took on the installation of a 10 x 20 foot wall stencil that my contractor and wallpaper hanger had said was too difficult to handle.” ”
““I hired Kathy to complete a somewhat tricky installation: a collection of collectible skateboards in my son’s room. She and her team were extremely resourceful and custom built bases to hang the skateboards perfectly. The installation was efficient and effective. My son was thrilled! I highly recommend her services.””
