Why Lodestone

Jason Fennell

Owner & Installer

I did not choose to work with art, art chose me to work with it.

I have always been a museum and gallery enthusiast, having traveled extensively in Europe and the United States. Somehow, through all my travels, I never considered working with art. In 2001 I was considering my future and was unsure of what was next. I had just returned home from living in Colorado and working industrial construction. I was sitting out front of my local coffee house with espresso in hand enjoying a relaxing afternoon, when a friendly face asked to join me; he was the owner of a local fine art gallery. He smiled and asked if I enjoyed art? I shared a couple stories of my travels and love of art. He then asked if I was looking for work?

And with this event my career in the art gallery and museum world began.

Lodestone was amazing. Quick, professional, knew everything there was to know. I had a really complicated mirror that 3 other guys couldn’t figure out how to hang or what hardware to use and he was able to figure it out. I have a bunch of art projects that still need installation and I will definitely be hiring Lodestone again.
