Neighborhood Watch Alert

A young woman has been spotted canvassing local neighborhoods.

The suspect: Margaret Heiner of the up-and-coming Aesthetica Art Consulting, a group known to promote art patronage.

The motive: a desire to brighten drab walls and support local artists.

Whether you’re modern or classic, budget busting or conservative, Heiner can get to you. First, she will case your house to discover your tastes and living space. Once she understands your parameters, she’ll set up appointments with galleries, accompany you to art shows, or help commission pieces like graffiti art.

After the job is done, she’ll manage the delivery and help with installation and integration into a preexisting collection.

Meaning you’ve been framed.
