POSITIONING
Hawsé Sumi
Hawsé Sumi is the commercial art division of TAJAME. I create large-format artwork and visual direction for corporate, hospitality, and commercial interiors — for the spaces that understand a room without a point of view is just a room.
This is not casual art shopping. There are no carts, no product grids, no impulse purchases. I work with serious commercial clients who understand that art is infrastructure — it shapes atmosphere, communicates identity, and gives a space the authority it needs to be remembered.
My clients are hotels, restaurants, developers, interior designers, and corporations who want their spaces to say something — and mean it.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Built for Commercial Spaces With Standards
I work exclusively with commercial clients. If your space demands atmosphere, identity, and visual authority — this is for you.
Hotels & Resorts
From lobby statements to suite collections, artwork that sets the tone before a guest says a word.
Restaurants & Lounges
Visual identity that makes the dining experience feel intentional, curated, and worth returning to.
Corporate Offices
Art that communicates culture, ambition, and brand character — without a single word of copy.
Developers & Designers
Artwork and visual direction integrated from the ground up, not added as an afterthought.
Hospitality Groups
Cohesive visual programs across multiple properties and brand expressions.
Cultural Spaces
Institutions, galleries, and civic spaces that require artwork with depth and dialogue.
Boutique Commercial Properties
Smaller footprint, higher standard. Spaces where every detail is deliberate.
Interior Designers
A trusted art partner who understands scale, palette, and the language of a well-designed room.
SERVICES
What I Provide
Every engagement is scoped to the space, the brand, and the intention behind it. These are the core services available to commercial clients.
Large-Format Artwork
Original works created at the scale commercial spaces demand — commanding, considered, and built to last.
Statement Wall Art
Single-wall focal pieces designed to anchor a room and define its visual identity from the moment you enter.
Hospitality Artwork
Artwork programs tailored to the guest experience — from arrival to departure, every surface considered.
Corporate Office Artwork
Art that reflects organizational values and elevates the professional environment for clients and teams alike.
Custom Art Direction
Full visual direction for commercial interiors — concept, palette, placement, and narrative, developed in collaboration with your team.
Artwork Licensing
Commercial licensing of existing works for reproduction, installation, or branded use across properties and platforms.

THE ARTIST
Kimberly Ann Hawes
I am the artist behind Hawsé Sumi — a two-time award-winning artist with international exhibition experience. My work has been shown across multiple countries and contexts.
My practice centers on visual storytelling, cultural atmosphere, and the relationship between art and the spaces it inhabits. I create work that gives commercial interiors a stronger, more deliberate point of view — artwork that doesn't decorate a room so much as it defines one.
I bring both the artistic vision and the commercial fluency to lead large-scale projects with precision, professionalism, and creative authority.
Art is not the finishing touch. It is the point of view the room was always missing.

Commercial Division

WHY IT MATTERS
Art Is Not Decoration. It Is Direction.
The spaces that are remembered are the ones that made a decision about who they are. The lobby that stops you. The restaurant that feels like it was designed for a specific kind of person. The office that communicates ambition without a single word on the wall.
That is what art does when it is chosen with intention and executed at the right scale. It is not a finishing touch. It is a foundational decision — one that shapes how guests feel, how clients perceive, and how a brand is experienced in physical space.
Hawsé Sumi exists for the clients who understand this. Who know that a room without a point of view is just a room — and that the right artwork changes everything about how a space is read, felt, and remembered.
Ready to Give the Room a Point of View?
Book a commercial art consultation to discuss the space, scope, direction, and next steps. Serious inquiries only — this is for commercial clients with a real project and a real timeline.
