Art programs across an entire development.
Leah Justyce is an Australian contemporary fine artist creating original art for display suites and common areas across property developments Australia-wide — painted to brief, professionally framed and delivered ready to install for handover.
Start a BriefA positioning decision, not a decoration decision
Buyers purchasing at the premium end of the market are making a decision that is partly rational and partly emotional. The display suite is where the emotional decision is made — original commissioned art signals that the developer has invested in the space at every level, not just the fixtures, a signal a print cannot replicate.
Common areas — lobbies, lift lobbies, corridors and amenity spaces — are the second priority. A considered art program across these spaces becomes part of the resident experience every day.
How a development commission works
Selected work
A small selection of original paintings suited to display suites and common areas — each a one-of-one.
Hover over a piece and move across it — it reveals section by section rather than all at once. This is The Grid, and it exists so the full artwork is never available as one clean image online, protecting the work from being stolen and reproduced elsewhere.

Guides for developers
Common questions
Why does original art matter in a property development?
Display suites are where buyers form the emotional impression that drives a purchase decision. Original commissioned art signals that the developer has invested in the space at every level, which affects how the development is perceived and valued -- a signal a print cannot replicate.
Which spaces in a development need original art most?
Display suites are the highest priority, since that is where buyers make their purchase decision. Common areas -- lobbies, lift lobbies, corridors and amenity spaces -- are the second priority, as every resident passes through them daily.
How should a property development art commission be briefed?
Include the number and size of works required, the colour palette and material finishes of each space, the market positioning of the development, the installation deadline, and whether works need to be labelled by apartment or space.
What volume and timeline is realistic for a development?
For acrylic commissions, up to 30 original large-scale works can be produced in 8 weeks. For larger developments, the production schedule is negotiated at the brief stage, with works delivered professionally framed and labelled by space where a plan has been provided.
