Custom Art That Anchors Place and Value

Stories captured. Communities inspired. Investments elevated.

Art is more than decoration—it’s transformation. The right piece can capture a story, honor a legacy, inspire a community, and elevate a space far beyond the ordinary. Whether in a public plaza, corporate lobby, university campus, healthcare facility, or private amenity, art has the power to turn a location into a destination.

While art is always part of the design lens, custom commissions are offered when a client wants something extraordinary. Ready-made artwork can be sourced when appropriate, but when the vision calls for a singular statement, Color Works curates and delivers fully bespoke commissions.

Partnerships with artists across the country allow us to work in any medium, at any scale, and often with artists connected to the geography of the project. Past collaborations have ranged from transforming century-old hardwood into a larger-than-life university mascot to creating bronze tributes that honor physicians whose impact continues to resonate.

The Commission Process

When a custom commission is chosen, every detail is managed with precision and care:

  • Donor Partnerships: Donor visions and preferences are honored at every step, with recognition handled exactly as desired.
  • Artist Collaboration: The right artist is identified and engaged, with all contracts, communication, and timelines managed seamlessly.
  • Installation Coordination: Logistics are overseen in partnership with the artist to ensure the work integrates beautifully with its environment.
  • Insurance & Protection: Liability, warranties, and long-term care are addressed in detail to safeguard the investment.
  • Community Engagement: Openings, ribbon cuttings, or artist talks can be designed to connect people directly to the story of the piece.

Why it matters

Custom art does more than fill a wall or plaza—it anchors memory, meaning, and identity. It can mark a milestone, celebrate a legacy, or create a point of pride that draws people together. In multifamily and mixed-use spaces, it deepens the sense of belonging. In public and institutional settings, it amplifies mission and message.

When art is done right, it transforms not just the space but the way people experience it—and that is where its lasting value lies.

Erich Jurges

General Dentist
“I am delighted to offer my highest recommendation and endorsement for Katie and Colorworks. Katie’s expertise was pivotal in crafting both the interior and exterior design of my dental office, elevating SageBrush Dental to a premier healthcare facility. Her keen insight not only transformed the physical space but also played a crucial role in shaping our branding strategy. Thanks to Katie’s vision, we were able to establish a corporate culture focused on delivering top-notch dental care.”

Tonia Kellogg

Director, Executive Offices at Oklahoma Baptist University

“Several years ago Oklahoma Baptist University was introduced to Katie by a gentleman in our community that was working with her to design the largest interstate highway restaurant/gift shop overpass project in our state. We were looking for someone to assist us with managing and overseeing a high profile signage and artwork project for our campus. She handled the entire project from RFP to installation. All along the way, she worked with us to insure that the results for the main entrance to our campus were exactly what we needed. In addition, Katie has worked with us to update the interior design of some of our existing buildings, as well as new buildings. From paint, to flooring, lighting, sound proofing panels, window coverings, you name it, Katie can do it. Aside from her technical expertise, Katie is an exceptional professional and makes even difficult projects easy.”

Wes Rutledge, RA

Architect, Beck Design
“I was the architect and project manager for the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority’s Vinita Service Plaza Renovation (The Will Rogers Archway). It was a great pleasure to work alongside Katie Decker-Erickson, who was hired by the OTA to coordinate the color schemes among the various tenants in the building. Her role and influence on the project carried far beyond color selection. Not only did she play a key role in choosing the colors and finishes in the building, Katie brought vision and creative solutions to the table. She was a tenacious advocate for the good of the project and an adept project manager. She demonstrated great skill in design, communication, and organization and would be a great asset to any project team”
