## About

Art consultant and curator for Aspen, Vail, and Colorado's mountain towns. One belief after a decade: art gives a room its voice. I'm Michelle Cook, founder of Curated Collections, based in Carbondale, and I help homeowners, interior designers, and architects with the part of a project most people find intimidating: finding art that actually belongs.

That means listening first, then sourcing from galleries, art fairs, and artists' studios, coordinating framing that can stand up to mountain light, and overseeing installation down to the last detail. Whether it's one meaningful piece for the living room or a collection built over years, the goal is always the same: rooms that feel collected, not staged.

A few things make my approach different. I studied both Art History and Finance at the University of Denver, so I care as much about honest budgets and smart purchases as I do about beauty. I work on a transparent project-fee basis, so you know the full cost before we begin. My background includes award-winning art programs for international luxury brands and boutique hotels, and today I also serve as chair of the Town of Carbondale's Arts in Public Places committee.

Mostly, though, I believe choosing art should be a joy, not a chore.

## Selected projects

- [Mountain Home Art Collection - Private Residence, Basalt](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mountain-home-art-collection-private-residence-basalt-pj-vj~7881659)
  - Location: Basalt, CO
  - Photos: 7
  - Description: A log home in Basalt with timber walls, a stone fireplace, and owners who wanted their art to feel like it had always been there. We built the collection the way the best ones happen: slowly and personally. Folk art, landscape paintings, watercolors, embroidery, and works on paper, each piece placed to feel found rather than staged. A pressed botanical beside the blue sofa, a winter etching above the bed, a fish weathervane in the study. Nothing matches, and everything belongs. That is the whole…
- [Commissioned Abstract Painting - Private Residence, Denver](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/commissioned-abstract-painting-private-residence-denver-pj-vj~7881655)
  - Location: Denver, CO
  - Photos: 2
  - Description: Sometimes a room needs one piece, chosen with total conviction, more than it needs many. For this Denver dining room we commissioned a large green abstract from Colorado artist Elizabeth Dexheimer and composed the room around its quiet depth. I managed the commission from first studio conversation to final placement, so the painting arrived not just finished but at home. By candlelight or morning sun, it carries the space. Proof that a single work of art, given real thought and the right wall, c…
- [Office Art Collection for the Colorado River District](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/office-art-collection-for-the-colorado-river-district-pj-vj~7881634)
  - Location: Glenwood Springs, CO
  - Photos: 4
  - Description: The Colorado River District stewards the river itself, so their Glenwood Springs offices deserved art that maps that story. A carved river runs through maple panels at reception, regional photography and landscape painting carry a sense of place through the building, and a vintage map of Colorado hangs in the kitchen. The work draws on the region's landscapes, its history, and the hands of local artists. I handled the program end to end, from site assessment and sourcing through commissions, fra…
