A little touch of Tuscany

It is my opinion that supporting local artists contributes to the success of the community within which a business lives and breaths.  In a world where business continues to strive to be innovative and creative in order to stay ahead of the competition, original art in the workplace helps to build a dynamic work culture and environment for employees that says “think, interpret, and imagine  possibilities and solutions with an artist’s eye and from an artist’s mind-set.”  As well, supporting and recognizing local art as a business in itself, provides the financial requirements to sustain art and the artist’s commitment.  We expect the community to support and appreciate our business endeavours and so, we too, need to engage with and enter into commerce with the art community.

Koenig commissioned local Saskatoon artist, Kathy Bradshaw, to create a piece that reflected the “old European” feel of the reception area at the new office.  The painting emanates both brightness and calm in an Italian landscape and one can feel the warmth of the Tuscan sun.
