Your home has
a story to tell.
Finding art that feels right for your home can be hard to put into words, let alone find in a gallery. Karen guides homeowners through the process of discovering original works that resonate with who they are and reflect what their homes represent.
It sets the tone of a room. It surfaces emotion you did not know you were carrying. It creates memories for the people who live in a home and for those who gather there.
The right piece does not just fill a wall. It says something true, and it keeps saying it for years.
Most people do not know where to start. They are unsure what they like, uncertain what fits their space, and worried they will choose the wrong thing. The art world can feel as though it was not made for them
Karen built her work around exactly that feeling.
I don't push styles or trends. I help you find what's already yours.
Meet Karen Doochin Vingelen.
Karen grew up surrounded by art. Some of the pieces from her childhood still hang in her home today and are filled with memories that have stayed with her for a lifetime. Each one spoke to her in a way that made leaving without it impossible. That experience shaped the way she sees art: not as something intimidating or exclusive, but as something deeply personal, full of memory and meaning.
After 30 years in a traditional business environment, Karen felt called toward something more rooted in beauty, creativity, and human connection. When a friend needed help finding art for her home, Karen discovered a gift she had been developing her whole life without realizing it.
Today she brings that gift to homeowners across Nashville and beyond. Karen listens carefully to how people talk about their spaces, what draws their eye, and how they want their homes to feel. She knows what it means to fall in love with a piece of art, and she knows how to help you find that feeling for yourself.

You don’t have to know art to start collecting it.
Karen works with homeowners at every stage of that journey. Some are decorating a new home for the first time. Others have lived in their space for years and finally feel ready to fill it with something meaningful. Based in Nashville and rooted in the South, Karen brings a personal, in-home approach to art consulting. Wherever you are starting from, she meets you there.
She also works with interior designers who want art that genuinely completes a space rather than competes with it. When a designer wants the art to carry as much intention as everything else in a room, Karen is the person they call.
For the right project, she travels anywhere.
