For Rent or For Sale. Christina Cook Lee is a versatile and experienced artist with a large portfolio and inventory of her own original art and reproductions. She also loves working with clients to produce large scale custom designs for unusual situations that require personal attention. Christina is convinced that homes with 2800 square feet and up need a minimum of seven large pieces of big art. That number would provide principal pieces for the living room, dining room, den, family room, master bedroom, foyer and hall. The number goes up if additional bedrooms are included. Luxury properties can require 20 pieces or more. \*\*\*\*\*REVIEW--- Having worked professionally with Christina on our staging projects for over 4+ years, I can emphatically say she is FABULOUS to work with! We own a home staging company and we regularly commission Really Big Art to assist us creating staging projects that sell extremely QUICKLY and profitably for our own clients. She creates the most AMAZING OVERSIZED originals for our use showcasing so many of our client's homes. With higher ceiling heights never being so popular, Really Big Art consistently solves huge problems for us! We often need multiple huge pieces on a very tight time-frame for just one project where we need that extra dramatic impact. Christina with Really Big Art always provides exactly what we need! Huge Oversized Art is impossible to find with mass producers online and difficult to find anywhere. Once you go over 60” in length, it becomes “slim to no pickings”. Christina is always quick to help and easily and quickly flows with OUR vision for each project, always delivers FANTASTIC original art in a timely manner and always does so with such an amazing attitude that it encourages our staff about the job at hand and excites us beyond measure!

Working with you and NonStop Staging is pure pleasure. You are a GENIUS at Interior Design and Home Staging and I love the projects I get to do with you. You have given me many great opportunities that I SO appreciate. Looking forward to an amazing 2020 with even more VISION REALIZED. Endless Blessings! **★★★★★ — HU-779484868, Sept. 2019** > I have rented Christina’s amazing artwork and encouraged my clients to do so as well. Every time we staged her art in my listings, it reduced the overall days on market significantly. She has an incredible eye for design and can envision how the entire house should be decorated. Her art continually grabs the attention of buyers from all over and I highly recommend you consider renting her pieces for your sale. **★★★★★ — Trish Chandler, Sept. 2019** > This luxury listing had been on the market with 2 other agents for a period of one year. I took the listing and hired Real Big Art to assist in staging the home. BAM !!! Within 29 days it was SOLD. Christina's original artwork was a huge hit and it helped me get my Sellers home sold in a short period of time! **Comment from Real Big Art:** > Thank you so much, Trish. It was so rewarding seeing that house come to life with my art and Doshia Wagner's (NonStop Staging) design and home furnishings. I love working with a team of Pros that results in a success story we can all share. I look forward to the next episode! All the BEST to you! **★★★★★ — Laura Anthony, Sept. 2019** > Christina helped us stage our house for sale last November. She created beautiful custom paintings that truly brought out the personality and essence of each room. When she arrived to hang the pictures, I thought they were too big. Once they were all hung up, I was in awe! I now believe that one large piece of custom artwork really pulls a room and it's décor together in such a cohesive and simplistic way! We received two offers in five days and sold our home in less than a week. We loved Christina's work so much that we ended up purchasing one of her beautiful paintings created for our home - named "Wall Garden" -and it proudly hangs in our new master bedroom! We enjoyed working with Christina and would highly recommend her to everyone! **Comment from Real Big Art:** > Thank you so much for this beautifully crafted review, Laura. It was such a pleasure working with you and Tom. Thank you for giving me the freedom to create artwork that would enhance your own furnishings. Yours was the first home where I had the opportunity to provide art for homeowners who wanted to ramp up their furniture and accessories in preparation for selling their home. Endless Blessings! **★★★★★ — Marc Pearl, Sept. 2019** > As a high end home builder, I can't emphasise the importance of having an art professional who is able to determine the correct scale of art for the height and width of the walls and creating art that was cohesive to the modern style of the building. In order to achieve that high end appeal and creating an attractive environment my projects are not complete and presentable until the correct art is installed. Christina Cook Lee really gets it, and I can count on her to always provide the exact custom art for my projects. **Comment from Real Big Art:** > Thanks for the opportunity to provide custom art for your amazing and modern new build. It was a pleasure getting to paint large art for the clean white walls that were planned for art. The lighting you included really helped the art to stand out to its best advantage. I wish more developers embraced the importance of this design feature in their plans. I look forward to serving your needs in future projects. All the BEST to you! ## Selected projects - [Modern Art \| Home Staging \| Investor New Build](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-art-home-staging-investor-new-build-pj-vj~5851048) - Location: Sarasota, FL - Photos: 11 - Description: Large Art for the staging of a new build by Investor, Marc H.

The 3 of us have 700 sq ft total house space - our daugter is 20 months old. How does everyone feel about this? A: Seems like large art would help things to feel more intentional. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-25.*
