How Delia Curates Differently
Delia LaJeunesse Art Consulting
Building Collections with Purpose, and Impact.
My mission is to guide private clients and emerging collectors in becoming discerning, confident buyers who enhance their personal and professional lives through art. Through my unique approach to art consulting, I don't just build collections, I create intentional narratives that align emerging art with each client's story, style, and aspirations.
When you work with me, you discover your own sense of taste with more clarity and confidence. The process is guided by the stories, identities, values, and priorities that shape the way clients live and the way a home should feel. Artwork is introduced in a way that reflects cultural context and the deeper themes that matter to you. In this intimate, transformative experience, you will develop the discernment to create spaces that are unmistakably yours and learn to select art that resonates deeply and authentically and carries cultural weight and investment value. This transforms your environments into powerful expressions of your identity, refinement, and strategic impact.
I love to begin curations by sourcing 3 to 5 cornerstone pieces that establish the foundation of your collection with intention and purpose. Some clients are content with a small initial acquisition, and with others we’ve curated up to 20 additional pieces to transform an entire home. My approach centers on developing a client's sense of taste through a narrative-driven process that ties every artwork to their values, history and cultural context.
We will encounter exceptional living artists working in the primary market, including emerging, upcoming, unknown, and mid-career voices. Because I do not represent artists, every recommendation responds directly to you and to the needs of the project without competing agendas. My curation remains fully client-responsive and discovery-focused.
My process is educational, unpretentious, and design-aware, inviting clients to learn without pressure to already know the language of art. Art is offered in a way that supports the design vision rather than competing with it, and the conversation stays clear, approachable, and tailored to you and your taste. I view art as a tool for personal clarity and betterment, giving clients an immersive, experiential form of luxury through thoughtful intake, optional studio and gallery visits, and personalized collecting documents. As you explore, art becomes a way to understand yourself more fully and to express what matters most. Designers see their clients more clearly, and clients see themselves reflected in the work they choose.
Delia LaJeunesse
Founder & Lead Consultant
I leverage over a decade of experience in the arts to guide individuals through the intimate process of art appreciation and acquisition. I am passionate about empowering clients to explore their tastes, develop discernment, and navigate the art world with confidence. Most importantly, I help them connect deeply with the works of art we discover together. With a focus on connecting art to our daily lives, I create journeys that redefine art collecting as a deeply personal, meaningful and relevant experience.
Before founding DLAC, I served as the executive director of a nonprofit arts and literature organization dedicated to uplifting emerging artists. This background in arts education and community-building informs my approach, fostering meaningful connections and making art both accessible and relevant to clients’ lives.
I take an unpretentious and supportive approach, equipping clients with everything they need to discover the transformative potential of living with art. It is a true honor to work so closely with individuals and couples, and I am always grateful to be trusted with their stories, values, and aspirations. The result is a collection that transforms their spaces and serves as a living expression of their identity and impact.
I believe the arts can help us be better citizens, community members, partners, parents, and coworkers, and that it can be instrumental in our individual journeys of stepping into our potential, power, and purpose.

Client Testimonials
Working with Delia is a dream come true. She guided and delighted us every step of the way. She will work with ANY budget you set for artwork and then explore and uncover your tastes and preferences, identify works, and unveil the options she personally selects for you. Delia shared the artists' stories about the pieces adding a highly personal touch. The hardest part was selecting just one from the many that we loved!
Once we made our choice, it didn't stop there. Due to the uniqueness of the art we purchased, Delia researched framing companies near us and consulted throughout the framing process. Not only did we add a beautiful new piece to our collection that brings us great joy and happiness, we also developed greater ease, appreciation, and confidence in viewing and thinking and talking about art, something that previously felt intimidating and inaccessible. We will be working with Delia again and again to continue adding art into our lives to appreciate for a lifetime.

Working with Delia was an absolute dream. Everyone needs this kind of intentional care and support while turning their house into a home. She helped me execute an elaborate gallery wall that I had been dreaming of creating, for over a year. There is no way I could have executed the wall by myself. She not only helped me find art pieces to balance out the selection we already had, but she also helped me place and hang every single piece of art (over 20 pieces). She is so thoughtful in her process. She really got to know me and my husband and what we value in life and in our art, and helped us translate those values into the pieces we selected for our home. The amount of joy I get each day from looking at the collection she helped us curate, and seeing how it truly represents our family, is unparalleled. This gallery wall completely transformed our space, elevating the entire room. Delia is incredibly skilled at finding art that speaks to her clients. Working with her was a 10/10. I highly recommend hiring her to help you with your home and personal art collection. She makes it extremely accessible. Delia totally takes the pressure off of finding the perfect art pieces for your collection, and makes the process enjoyable and fun for all.

Working with Delia was an absolute joy of a process — we ended up finding the perfect piece of art for my bedroom! Searching for art can be overwhelming and time-consuming. Delia made the process fun, informative, creative, and personal. I love the way Delia gently prompts and guides you through the journey to find the right piece of art that fits you, your space, and your vibe. It was also really cool looking at all the art she has from her vast library of both local and online artists—supporting all styles and price ranges. I highly recommend working with Delia for any of your art curation and collecting needs!
— Brett, Denver
In the past I didn't think much about art when I was buying it. I would most of the time buy art from the big name companies and not even think about where it was coming from or who created it. Having Delia come into our new home that we purchased, her personalized approach towards art made me look at art in a different, more meaningful way. Delia sat down with both of us and went through different pieces, making this experience beyond delightful and meaningful. When we would agree on a piece we both liked, Delia would share the artist's story, which made purchasing art for our house that much more intentional. I will always look at art in a different way thanks to Delia's sensibility and personalized experience. She is beyond a joy to work with to pick out the best piece for your experience.

Delia LaJeunesse Art Consulting was a dream to work with! My husband and I know very little about art, and we were looking for some help filling up our blank walls, and updating our existing art to feel more indicative of our current style, taste and preferences. Delia had a very structured approach- showing us a variety of different art, ranging in medium, style and aesthetic. She helped us narrow down our choices and worked to tailor a personalized approach. She helped us every step of the way- from narrowing down the art, to ordering, to selecting frames. Would highly recommend Delia LaJeunesse Art Consulting for art novices, or more experienced art lovers who want an individualized experience with a lovely, knowledgeable experience. Delia's professional, easy going, has a great sense of humor, and opened my eyes to the types of art we'd want in our home!

Delia is a meaning making alchemist. I’ve always loved art, but when it came to choosing pieces for my house I was easily overwhelmed. I’d search for pieces of art to hang on my walls just because I felt like I needed something to fill the space. But after two art consulting sessions with Delia, suddenly I was revitalized. She took the time to get to know my aesthetics, interests, values, and beliefs in order to find art that would invigorate and match my space. She was welcoming, kind, and supportive. She asked meditative questions that made me look at the art in new ways and feel connected to their power. Now when I look at my space, I feel that it’s a true reflection of me and my own process of becoming. I feel way more excited about art and capable of using the art in my home to spark conversation and connection with my guests. I am so grateful to Delia’s magic and ability to empower us all to become versed in the space of art!

I had the privilege of being one of Delia's early clients. From the very first conversation, I could tell how thoughtful she was in designing her process and approach. She was extremely professional, but also created an experience that was fun, comfortable, and relaxing. As soon as we started, I knew I was in the right hands and she was going to find the perfect piece for me. She found (I'm not even joking) 50 potential pieces to choose from and was ready to do it all over again, but she had found more than a few in that first round that I knew would be perfect in my home.
I know as soon as I need a very special piece to bring life to my home, I'll be reaching out to Delia. Can't recommend her enough! <3

We need WAY more services like this in the world- fun, supportive, fluid, and completely tailored to your desires. Delia has converted the journey of art discovery, evaluation, and selection into a seamless experience of playful inquiry and curiosity.
She is a gentle and consistent guide throughout a process that I had little idea how to navigate. I had a big empty wall (in a tiny house) that called for a feature piece. I was frozen with indecision and a general lack of time to explore what I wanted to invest in. The world of living artists is massive! Delia helped sort through it all based on deep listening to my personal story and home desires. She absolved my hesitancies and completely broadened my field of vision.
Delia has a way of uncovering the client's internal knowing of what needs expressed or illuminated in a physical space. Absolutely dreamy.

Delia is a star but her work shines brighter. My husband and I couldn’t agree on a single piece for our home. Delia strategically pulled together interesting pieces and thoughtfully asked us to share more about what we liked and didn’t like about them. She helped me articulate my reactions to pieces and ended up finding a stunning painting that my husband and I are so excited to have chosen together. It was a great experience that we now have a lasting memory of, AND it was all within a budget of less than $800. Don’t miss out, if you’re thinking of finding art for your home or office, message Delia now!

The moment Delia stepped into my home I felt she had a vision that she wanted to bring me along with and journey into.
By doing an initial consultation of not only what I wanted in art pieces, but also how my personality and my home's personality was involved in the art I felt confident in the next steps.
Delia truly cares about where art comes from and her knowledge across different mediums and artists mixed with my preferences led to a beautiful collection in my home. Art should be accessible to everyone and she is creating a bridge to do so.
I gaze at my collection so much now and it's truly an other worldly feeling that I used to only get in museums, gallery, shows. I now have this magical feeling in my home and am so excited to continue in this journey with Delia.
— Taylor H.
Delia took the time to understand my needs and was patient while I found my style! She found art I was looking for and art I wasn’t expecting but now love! Would definitely recommend working with her!
