Price Latimer is an interdisciplinary artist, designer and curator for private residences, collections, public spaces and commercial projects. With over 25 years of experience, she works with a broad range of clients and collaborators on creative direction, fine art, interiors, branding, hospitality and entrepreneurial endeavors, while consulting on all things art and design related. Price’s mission is to share her passion and appreciation for art and design, guided by her critical eye and creative problem-solving, to actualize out-of-the-ordinary projects and environments.
With a network of the most innovative resources throughout the world, the company offers a full spectrum of sales and services, all with the budgetary and aesthetic objectives of each client in mind. An amalgamator and coordinator, Price’s practice is firmly rooted in the concept of gesamtkunstwerk (“total work of art” or “synthesis of the arts”). Making use of numerous art forms and media, Price deftly embraces the challenge of integrating many details into a total spatial experience, in a thoroughly organic way, while maintaining the ability to see the big picture.

Price received a B.F.A. from the Rhode Island School of Design and studied Interior Design and Fine Arts at Parsons School of Design. She has completed courses at Brown University, as well as pursued studies abroad in New Zealand and San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. While attending RISD, she worked in New York City for acclaimed neo-conceptualist painter Peter Halley and his magazine, Index. After relocating to Los Angeles in 2000, she worked in blue chip art galleries, then as Manager of the cutting-edge Italian furniture company, Kartell. There, she consulted with architects and interior designers to furnish everything from private residences and offices to distinguished restaurants and large-scale hotels.
