Creating art and thoughtfully curated environments that bring beauty, connection, and meaning to the spaces we inhabit.

ART. SPACE. EXPERIENCE.

I’ve spent my life understanding how art changes a space—and how a space changes the people within it.

For more than three decades, my work has moved between fine art and the environments that surround it. I began as a painter and built a career that expanded into scenic art, architectural finishes, photography, interior styling and, eventually, art curation. What connects all of it is an instinct for atmosphere—for color, scale, texture, light and the way they make a space feel.

As a self-taught artist, I’ve never been particularly interested in staying inside prescribed boundaries. My experience has taken me from private residences and entertainment-industry projects to galleries, businesses and healthcare environments. Each has taught me something different about the relationship between artwork, architecture and the people who experience them.

WHERE IT ALL COMES TOGETHER

Today, Chandon Banning Studios brings those decades of experience together through original art, thoughtful curation and environmental design.

Whether I’m standing in front of a blank canvas or walking through a 25,000-square-foot facility, I begin in much the same way: I pay attention. I look at the light, the architecture, the purpose of the space and the people who will inhabit it. Then I consider what belongs there—and just as importantly, what doesn’t.

I believe beautiful spaces can change how we feel. Art can create calm, energy, curiosity, connection or a sense of belonging. My work is ultimately about creating those experiences with intention.
