KW Contemporary Art gallery is a friend to all art lovers, from those just starting their art-collecting journey to well-seasoned enthusiasts pushing the envelope of their collection. At the heart of it all, Kiersten Wilcox is there at her space in Kennebunk, whose insight and eye for art recently helped her place an artist’s work at the Farnsworth Art Museum. Fear not—those who live outside of Maine can benefit from her extensive offerings, including virtual mockups and pieces that can be shipped nationally and internationally. All of her clients receive the same amount of commitment and attention, whether they live down the street or in Dubai.

“People can get comfortable with a style, especially one that has worked for them for a while,” Kiersten says. “It can be scary to bring in something new. I’m here to help guide, even surprise, clients with a piece of art that might change how they see a room.” It certainly helps to have someone with her knowledge approach a room with fresh eyes and decipher where a piece from her extensive stable of artists would feel right at home.
