Creative Accents of Austin

Not everyone knows art or even knows what they like where art is concerned, which is where Creative Accents comes in. Personable owner Susan Ohlendorf likes to think of her business as "an art resource," matching clients with the paintings, prints, sculptures, etc., that will fulfill them in some way. The walls of her three-room shop unobtrusively tucked into a business park at the corner of North Lamar and Research offer a variety of styles in mostly representational art, from Austinite Milbie Benge's Hill Country oils to Ginny Harlow's White Illusion, an oil close-up of a bloom that recalls Georgia O'Keeffe's almost abstract flowers. But if nothing on display strikes you, Ohlendorf will use her own resources to find art around the world to suit you. And her framing staff will set it off in expert fashion.
