Artist Brand Identity & Website
Julia Gilmore is a fine artist whose oil paintings transform everyday objects into vibrant, joyful expressions of color and life. She had spent years building a loyal collector base through art shows and word of mouth, but her online presence did not reflect the caliber of her work. The challenge was a nuanced one: her art is full of warmth and exuberance, and that joy was being mistaken for whimsy. She needed a brand that could hold both things at once, the color and happiness that is central to her work, and the sophistication and credibility that serious collectors expect.
We handled branding, website, and email newsletter from start to finish. The brand identity was built around the tension Julia herself named: joyful but serious, colorful but refined. Every decision, from typography to palette to layout, was made to elevate her artistic vision without stripping it of its personality.
The result was an online presence so aligned with who she is that her own clients noticed. As Julia put it, friends and collectors kept telling her: "This is exactly who you are online." That is the standard we hold every project to.
