Designing and installing artwork, mirrors, and documents for homes and businesses in Seattle and the Kat Henolson started NW Art Installation in May of 2017.

Kat previously worked as a custom art framer. Often, clients would pick up their pieces and then ask what they should do next. Kat saw that people not only needed help installing their work, but also finding the right place. Kat has previous experience with several art galleries, and was trained to hang art professionally. She enjoys the art of installation and design. Whether she is creating a ga
llery wall with your family photos, or hanging posters for a restaurant, Kat will treat your work with care and thoughtfulness.
Beautiful textile pieces. First is by . It still needed to be brushed out post install, but it’s so beautiful and fluffy! Second is by . This was a tricky piece to hang in a narrow, high space. The colors are bright and cheery greeting you each time you go downstairs. I also admired how Emily attached the textile to the wooden bar. Genius idea!
Beautiful piece by .k She makes “intricate compositions made of tens of thousands of rolled, hand-dyed mulberry paper pieces.” I hung this piece in a stairwell. It is 3D so being able to see it from different angles is beautiful.
Little project in Tacoma today. This split flap sign needed a frame over it to keep people from touching it. Proctor created a shadow box with acrylic glazing to fit over the sign (which was already mounted to the wall). I locked the frame in place using security hangers. The quote happened to pop up when I took the photo.
There so many great pieces in this house! I loved how the style and size varied, but looked cohesive. (I don’t have info for all of the artists unfortunately.)
I had the joy of installing another piece today. I can’t get over the effect he creates! Same piece from two perspectives.
Two pieces by hung on picture rails with brass hooks and chain.
I started the design for this project over a month ago. The client had so many pieces, and wasn’t sure where and how to put them up. A number of items were also unframed. A majority of the items were finished, and I was able to hang them today. Waiting on two pieces and the clock top to be repaired. Super pleased with how it looks.
Completed a massively physical installation yesterday. The beautiful toothpick piece was made by South African artist and the paint and fabric piece is by
These two works were mounted on tile walls. BUT these walls have had a few different surfaces since the 60s. There was brick and a different tile hiding underneath. Thank goodness for good drill bits! The piece by Soal was also heavy and fragile. Lifting it without being stabbed by the toothpicks or breaking them was quite the feat.
A bright spot of color in the grey PNW. Art by was suspended in front of the rock using Qubic hangers.
Swipe to see the birds multiply.
The Art of Science exhibit for
This exhibit was so interesting to install. All of the pieces relate to biology or the medical field in some way. Several of the pieces were textiles, and so beautifully done.
Slide for special effects. This piece is by
Go Reign!!
Projects from the last few weeks. The asymmetrical piece (first two photos) was especially tricky. Aside from being up high, we were on a house boat. Levels don’t work on a house boat 😄 We had to judge how straight it was by eye.
For the next project: I really liked how the mirrors gave the room a polished look. Great way to finish the area on either side of the bed.
I’ve now worked with this family since 2018! We keep adding more to this stairwell. It’s such a joy working for a family this long, and seeing this design evolve.
Installed this massive piece by .adams It was so heavy because it is comprised of beads and some crystals. His work and story are worth a look.
From artsy.net: “A gay, practicing Muslim born in apartheid-era South Africa, Igshaan Adams draws on his faith and the multiplicity of his own identity as he produces labor-intensive, woven works that include hanging tapestries, rugs, and standing sculptures.”
An art form I am just learning about, and am totally intrigued by, is . My client .wist has an amazing collection of pieces they have created in collaboration with for their project . They also have pieces independently made by Tyler Hobbs and . I love how this entry way has developed over a couple appointments.
Simply black and white
Beautiful new pieces in an office in downtown Seattle. And lots of music memorabilia as well. Works are by
Another one in the books. This project started with existing items, and I added suggestions based on the space and design. Once the client had a majority of the items, I did the installation. More items are coming (the brown paper placeholders) and prints need to be created. But, the client is overjoyed with how it looks 😊
Wide variety of pieces and styles over the past week. I especially love how things turned out with the rug and 2D pieces. All of the colors and textures work beautifully together.
The collage wall included pieces made by my client’s children long ago. It gives the arraignment even more personality.
Lastly, the birds are mounted on posts of varying depth. They are also three different finishes: gold, brass, and iron. The shadows fill out the design.
A day off doesn’t mean a day of no work 😉 my stairwell has needed a refresh for a while. Finally got some of my new pieces and photos up. Need to break out the big ladder for the remaining pieces.
Lovely arraignment of art by Gilbert Gorski.
Bit of a photo dump:
1- my youngest wanted to redo her room design. I installed this net canopy over her pillow and strung the lights so she has her own magical spot.
2- creating another gallery wall design for a client’s stairwell. I have yet to find an online platform that can do what I want. For now, I’m stuck going old school with graph paper 😄
3- a nice corner with family memories
Hung this beast yesterday. It is 8.75’ x 6’. Utilized a French cleat. This time the art already had the 1x4 board on the back. I used a 2x4x48 which gave it a little bit of an angle. Client loves how it turned out.
2022 v 2018: my client filled all of the frames I hung for her in 2018, and is ready to do more. I’ll create a design like last time to help her purchase frames. Then I’ll install everything while she decides on prints. I will also add velcro strips to the back of each picture because crooked art is the worst!
This client had an unusual request. They need a way to hang this carved wooden piece. The issue was the back of the piece had wood hinges that stuck out two inches.
My way to remedy this issue was to research a sturdy shelf that could hold over 100 lbs, and create a bracket that attaches to the piece and the wall. From the options I suggested, the client chose a beautiful shelf from .co
The bracket is made from two corner brackets overlapped and secured with bolts, lock washers, and nuts. The brackets will be painted black so they don’t stand out as much from the side.
I think it was a success, and the client was very pleased with the result.

After almost 24 hours of work, I completed one of my largest residential projects to date. This lovely couple had over 160 pieces for me to design and install. Bet you can’t guess which animal my client loves best 😄
Photo dump from the last month. Summer was steadily busy. I’m ready for a quiet fall 😄 🍁
I had the pleasure of installing artwork today by a local artist I really like, These pieces were awesome in person, and the client loves having them in her new living room.

Here is the completed timelapse by @hello.emilios at @fosswaterwayseaport. Shipwrecks- Duty of Memory by @benazzostefano opened December 16, and will stay up until January 31. It’s a little odd to see myself doing an installation, but I love it! I do put a lot of time an energy into each project. Sam Emilio captured it perfectly, I think. I will hopefully share some stills too. #nwartinstall #picturehanging #artinstaller #arthanging #entrepreneur #seattleentrepreneur #womanowned #womenarthandlers #discovertacoma #shipwreck #photography #fosswaterwayseaport #maritimemuseum #tacomawa #stefanobenazzo #hello.emilio
