Affordable, Approachable, Educational
The Discerning Palette is an affordable, approachable and educational resource for art and art information. Our curated collection of Modernist style paintings are all original one-of-a-kind pieces, and will fit beautifully in any interior setting, whether hanging on a wall or sitting on a shelf.
If you’re considering making your first art purchase, start with a piece that reminds of you of a place, a piece of music, something you love or someone you know. You’ll keep it forever.

Taking Shape
We recently collaborated with the wonderful cafe The Square to decorate their space with our mid-century paintings. Installing the paintings definitely created some talking points for the cafe’s customers and got them chatting about the different pieces – giving people the opportunity to enjoy art in an informal, friendly setting.
