Picture Hanging Experience

PHS hanging specialist Russell Unitt has spent the past 10 years hanging
pictures, having worked in one of Melbourne’s most prestigious Art Galleries.
 
“In the course of my work in selling Fine Art,  I would deliver a purchased painting
to a client and after hanging it almost inevitably they would ask me if I could hang
some more pictures they had lying around.  After a while this became a natural
extension to my work and I found that I not only enjoyed the challenge, but I was
actually very good at it.”

“I kept getting phone calls from friends of ex-clients wanting me to hang their
pictures as well and it grew from there.”

“I often say that hanging pictures is simple but it’s not easy.   It’s relatively simple
to put a picture up on the wall but it is not easy to position it in such a way that it
actually enhances its environment.” 

“There is a subtle art to picture hanging.  To create a sense of balance and
harmony, by the careful placement of art, prints, photographs, and mirrors, brings
life to a room and turns a house into a home”
