Andrea Brooks is the visionary leader behind A Bold Collab. Known for her layered, expressive interiors, Andrea brings the same eye for color, texture, and individuality to this new project - an evolving showcase of contemporary and vintage art and collectibles that dares to break boundaries and invite conversation. Andrea has built a reputation for creating highly personal, art-forward spaces. Her interiors are never formulaic - they’re told in color, contrast and carefully chosen pieces. Andrea has spent over 20 years building a fearless design style that’s as layered as the relationships behind it. From art dealers and vintage sellers to interior designers and local business owners, loyal clients and favorite artists-she’s learned from all of them. Whether she’s sourcing original art, discovering the *perfect* vintage piece, or styling a space that just *feels right*, it all goes back to years of listening, learning, and collecting - stories told through brushstrokes, patina and collected beauty. That’s where she finds community and how she wants to connect, support and share. Boldly. 💖
This night was everything. ✨
Behind the Cover came to life in the most beautiful way—rooms full of color, conversation, and so many people we’re grateful for.
Thank you to everyone who showed up, supported the artists, and celebrated with us. And to the incredible artists (35+!) who trusted us with their work…this only exists because of you.
And of course, to Liz—what a joy to kick off your tour right here with you. 💫
Still feeling it all today.
If you missed opening night, the show is up—come see it.
We’re open today from 11 to 4. Will post more of our schedule soon.

Collected. Lived. Curated.
Grid worthy gallery wall. 🥰 In all the excitement of the @lizlidgett book and cover announcement for Art For Everyone, I haven’t made an actual “old IG school” post about it! So here she is! My favorite part of this process was going back in time to document artist credit for every piece pictured. It brought up great memories for how and why each piece was acquired and the slow but steady transformation of the gallery wall. From travels, garage sales, vintage finds and favorite artists from everywhere, it’s grown into my favorite sitting spot in the house that now will be shared out in the wild! I’m sitting in that spot as I type - oh so grateful! Pre-sales of the book are happening now for a Spring 2026 release. 💖🖼️🥰

There’s something unmistakable about a Cheryl Kellar piece. The color. The attitude. The fashion influence. The way every painting feels layered with personality and story.
We’ve loved Cheryl’s work for years, and we’re so excited to have three of her newest pieces currently showing at A Bold Collab as part of Behind the Cover. Her work is also featured inside Art for Everyone — including the runway-inspired piece shown against those unforgettable pink walls in Andrea’s home.
Cheryl herself is just as vibrant as the work she creates — vivid purple hair, colorful glasses, sharp wit, huge heart — the kind of artist who makes a room more interesting the second she walks into it. But beyond all of that fun is real depth. Her water media paintings have this incredible ability to balance boldness with softness, glamour with emotion.
Fashion may inspire the work, but Cheryl’s paintings are really about presence. Mood. Confidence. Individuality.
Come see her work in person at A Bold Collab. Like great fashion, her work leaves an impression long after you’ve walked away.

Today may be my birthday… but last week felt like the real celebration.
A room full of artists, collectors, family, new faces, old friends, laughter, stories, and so much incredible art. The kind of night that reminds me why we started A Bold Collab in the first place.
Feeling really grateful for this creative community that keeps showing up for us — and for each other. 💖
The gallery will be open today 11 to 4, so if you missed the opening, come see the show, spend some time with the art, and maybe take a piece home with you.
And yes… I do like this kind of party. 🎶🖼️

What started as hundreds of pieces of art, constant rearranging, long days, second guesses, instinct, and a vision Claire and I were trying to bring to life, slowly became something bigger than we imagined.
Piece by piece, we curated a show that felt layered, collected, vibrant, and full of stories. Everything I love to be surrounded by. The artists, the work, the energy in the room — somehow it all started speaking to each other.
Over 100 works.
35+ artists.
Countless helping hands.
And by opening night, it all came together exactly the way it was meant to. ✨
Still grateful for this one. Still recovering.
Doors will be back open Thursday through Saturday 11 to 4. ALL are welcome.
