Art Collector's Home

One of our members, Pat Schaefer, is an avid art collector. Her home is really an art gallery – can you imagine living in an art museum?! Ms. Schaefer’s home gives new meaning to the term “usable art”; from the landscaping outside and the architecture of the physical structure and layout of her home to the various collections and unique pieces inside, Ms. Schaeffer’s home is a complete immersion in art!

Ms. Schaefer has worked with renowned professionals from all over the world to create an eclectic gallery of fine art masterpieces.

Earlier this summer Ms. Schaefer hosted the Muncie, Indiana chapter of NLAPW in her home. We held our meeting in her beautiful living room surrounded by pieces from her glass collection, paintings collection, and sculpture collection. Then we had a catered sit-down meal beneath a beautiful chandelier sculpture by Dale Chihuly.

After the meal we were treated to a tour of Ms. Schaefer’s home and a full viewing of all her collections. Below are just a few pictures of some of the pieces in this Muncie, Indiana Pen Woman’s home.

I’m hoping I can catch Ms. Schaefer in an opening in her busy schedule to interview her about some of her favorite artists and post that information here on our blog sometime in the near future. 

In the meantime, enjoy this visual peek into Ms. Schaefer’s Gallery Home!
