Introduction
Please Note. ***Instant Booking is not a set appointment until a credit card is on file to hold the spot. Thumbtack charges $35 to us for each client that uses Direct Booking. Please note that fee will be added to the total quote. To avoid this, please reach out using the other booking option. These lead costs are $15, and I do not pass those fees to the client, they are absorbed in my rate. ***Please also be aware, I charge a travel fee (based on distance) in addition to the hourly rate.*** Hello! I am Colette von, owner and creator of She Hangs LA - Art Services. I would love to get to know you and your project to see if we are a great fit together! I am personal, professional, consistent, and I specialize in design layout, curation and Earthquake-safe installation. I do quality control checks of existing hardware and wiring, and replace any damaged or corroded hardware to ensure safety and damage prevention, which most of my competitors tend to overlook. As an artist myself, I understand the personal and financial relationships we have with our pieces, and am dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of safety for the art and space it resides. She Hangs LA also offers furniture and room layout consulting, as well as indoor and outdoor plants along with optional upkeep and maintenance. I’ve found throughout my many years of installing that a few tweaks can make a huge difference in function within our experiences and enjoyment of our spaces. FOR ART CURATION, HANDLING, PREPARATION, HANGING, & INSTALLATION: I have more than ten years of applicable experience in art handling, installation, layout design, curation, preparation, and production. As lead contractor and owner of LA UP, I provide installation services for galleries, museums, corporate clients, offices, and private residences- including those with special installation needs, such as non-wall damaging installations. I curate and install monthly rotations in various establishments throughout Los Angeles and the surrounding area. Additionally, I provide curation and installation services to clients in their homes either as new residents to the space, to consult and install new acquisitions, or refresh a collection inside their home. I represent many artists, and can introduce clients to work reflecting their style or space design. If my artists don’t fit a space, I assist my clients in finding work that completes the look and feel of the room. I am versed in many varieties of installation, and can install in any material or surface, including ceilings, concrete, wood, brick, fabric, steel, drywall, lathe/plaster etc. I have created many non-damaging installation systems and can provide wall-safe consultation and installation. I use these methods in a number of spaces in Los Angeles. Examples of installation items: -Picture/Gallery walls -Artwork & Photo installation -Full collection design and layout -TV mounting -Casted Italian plaster relief installation -Mirror installation -Curtain/Rod installation -Plant hook installation -Shelving design and installation -Indoor & Outdoor sign mounting -Vinyl window & wall installation -Neon sign installation -Tapestry & Rug Hanging -Pendant lamp installation -Wall sconce installation PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE: As the HAUS Director and Curator at ONE ONE SIX TWO Gallery in Echo Park, I curated and installed every show, and hosted 40+ exhibitions and 25+ pop-ups which allowed me to present more than 800 individual (local to international) artists in under two years. Since then, I have hung thousands of pieces ranging from loose-papers, canvases and frames to wooden panels, tapestries, mirrors, rugs, skateboards, neon signs, sculptures, shelving, projectors, records, and beyond. I have designed and installed mounts, shelving, and assembled numerous amounts of furniture as well. I have even installed a dismantled wooden headboard weighing over 85lbs. onto drywall, and strung up a motorcycle using 2 chain cables on support beams for an installation. I love creative presentation, so not only can I hang your piece(s), I can consult with you in the best way to do so to include your personality and aesthetic in the process. As a professional art handler, I have installed everything from technical grid frames to glass paintings in free-floating windows on a 20-ft ladder. I am highly capable, and can complete tasks both big and small. So, what can I help you with? —————————————————————————— [COVID-19] We are taking extra precautions during this time to ensure the safety of our clients and staff.

Highly recommend Collete’s service. We had several art pieces to be displayed on our bare walls. We really appreciate her keen insight to composition and expert recommendations. As a result, we are very happy with the placements through out our home and really love her recommended art gallery vibe. Collete is great to work with— she’s attentive to details and interior design while meeting your art decor vision. Excellent communication.

Colette recently provided exceptional service at our office! She tackled a variety of tasks with precision and professionalism, ranging from mounting heavy whiteboards to arranging and hanging our art with minimal direction. Her expertise was evident as she skillfully hung whiteboards using complicated standoffs and various picture sets using both standoffs and traditional methods. We were particularly impressed with her art arrangement skills. Throughout the project, Colette demonstrated excellent communication and timeliness, ensuring smooth coordination at every step. Her remarkable problem-solving skills came to the fore when faced with challenges, consistently finding effective solutions. Colette delivered outstanding service, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of professional hanging services. If you're in search of someone reliable, skilled, and hard-working look no further!

Colette was absolutely amazing. Working with her was truly a pleasure. I needed her assistance hanging a surprise painting for my wife for our anniversary and she was able to go above and beyond to make sure it was not only done but done right! She was very professional and easy to work with. She was done in less than 20mins and didn’t leave a trace behind her. I would definitely recommend her if you’re in need of an artistic touch. I plan on using her again to hang any and all future paintings in my house. Colette thank you so much!
