Bob Olson, the mastermind behind RD Olson Construction, has built numerous iconic properties including hotels, resorts, multi-unit housing, country clubs, retail spaces, and restaurants for major brands such as Marriott, Kimpton Hotel & Restaurant Group, and Starwood Lodging. It speaks volumes that even he turned to TKOart for his personal art collection.

Olson's waterfront residence in Newport Beach, California, combines the charm of Nantucket with a refined European eclectic design aesthetic, making it ideal for coastal living. TKOart curated a custom art collection for the three-story home, designed with family and entertaining in mind. The collection features an original entryway piece by Ed Ruscha that sets the tone for the treasures artfully placed throughout the home. The dining room, designed to mimic the hull of an ancient wooden ship, features a historic oil painting of a clipper ship with a custom hand-carved and gilded frame framing the head of the table. Other works include commissioned paintings of the sunset from the second floor, collectible contemporary paintings from Southern California's hottest emerging artists, and wild and fun collage creations echoing the surf community vibe for the children's rooms. TKOart's services extended beyond artwork to sourcing property-specific sculptures and accessories that completed the home's design. This diamond property was a featured project in The Robb Report, showcasing the casual elegance of Southern California's coastal elite.

In another stunning location at the prestigious Maui Montage, TKOart was tasked with creating a collection that reflected the beauty of Hawaii's coast. In just two months, TKOart curated a personalized art plan that exuded energy and elegance befitting the penthouse suite. Working with over 20 artists from Hawaii and the mainland, TKOart acquired a range of paintings, collages, photography, and sculptures that were expertly framed, delivered, and installed.
