Kathleen McAvoy is an avid art collector. From portraits to abstract
pieces, she's been buying art for 30 years. McAvoy said her
Blairstone Forest home looks more like an art gallery, studded with
captivating abstracts and tiny watercolor cityscapes.
The
most recent piece to adorn her wall? A painting of a mysteriously
silhouetted woman, riding a horse through stormy waters and into a
misty forest.
In the past few years, the
retired state worker has ventured online to buy art. She's ordered
about 50 pieces online from
Artfinder.com,
an online art marketplace.
Topping Miami and even New York City, a report released last week by
Art-finder found Tallahassee to be the "art buying capital of the
U.S."
Broken down per capita, proportional to
each city's population, Tallahassee came in with 1,303 artwork sales
made through the Artfinder website in 2016.
