The art of collecting,
made simple
I work closely with each client, taking the time to understand their space and their story, to find art that feels entirely their own.
Start the conversation
What I do
Most people know they want real art at home. Few know where to start, what it should cost, or who to trust. I do the looking - you just choose what you love.
-
Curate
Search galleries, studios and shows for work that fits your space and your taste.
-
Buy
Handle the introductions and the purchase itself, so there's no awkwardness or guesswork.
-
Frame
Facilitate framing chosen to suit the piece and the room, from sourcing through to finishing.
-
Hang
Ensure the final placement is considered as carefully as the piece itself.
How I think about it
Taste comes first
There's no single right answer in art, only what genuinely resonates with you. My role is to listen closely for that, and let it lead the search, rather than prescribe an answer of my own.
Pieces in conversation
A room comes together when its pieces speak to one another and to the space around them - through colour, texture or feeling - rather than simply matching.
A range for every budget
From affordable prints to original work by emerging and established artists, there's a way in at every level. I'll help you find the right place to start, and the right moment to stretch further.
What clients say
"Rachel gave us the confidence to feel like we were buying the right art for us and for our home. She dispelled our feelings of intimidation about art, made that world feel more accessible and helped us start a collection that we love."
"Rachel's ability to cut through the noise and introduce us to artists that we would love was so helpful. Her eye for understanding a space and knowing what will work in a room transformed our home."
About Dado Curate
Dado Curate was set up by Rachel Earley to make buying art feel personal, not intimidating. She sees every project as a collaboration - your rooms, your taste and your story come first, and her job is to listen closely enough to find work that genuinely belongs there.
Having grown up surrounded by art, spent years immersed in Dublin's galleries, shows and emerging artists, and built a 20-year career in design innovation, Rachel brings a trained eye and a close knowledge of who's worth watching to every brief. Taste is rarely right on the first guess - it's built slowly, through conversation and looking together.
That's why the process matters to her as much as the finished wall.
