In Focus: Art with Mary P
We’re delighted to announce that we’ve recently partnered with Art with Mary P Art Advisory to enliven our office with original artwork from London artists. Today we sit down with the Founder, Mary Poelzlbauer, who is a valued patient with eLine to discuss our joint project.
“Art impacts your sense of well-being, making you feel energetic, peaceful or happy”.

Mary, please tell us about your business:
Art with Mary P originally created bespoke art gallery tours, with the aim to make art accessible to everyone. As we experienced art together, I gained insight into what my clients liked, we all learned from conversations with gallerists and we developed relationships. Soon tour regulars were asking my advice on art for their home and office, and I was working with them to acquire pieces we saw at art fairs and artist studios, in addition to galleries. There’s nothing better than helping someone acquire a piece that reflects their personality and that they want to live with. Art has the power to impact the way you feel, and I want all my clients to feel inspired every time they see their pieces.
How did you curate the work for e-LINE’s office?
As a patient of e-LINE, we had built up a fantastic relationship over the years. So, the first step was conversations with the e-LINE team to understand the feeling they wanted to create in their clinic, in addition to what their tastes are. We then came back with a selection of pieces that would create the welcoming, happy and energising vibe they wanted to create. We aimed to reflect the professional, yet approachable, friendly personalities of the team.
e-LINE always has their patients’ care at the forefront of their service, so the final pieces were chosen to be another reason an e-LINE visit is a bright spot in someone’s day.
What did you hope it will achieve?
Just that! Art really does impact your sense of well-being, making you feel energetic, peaceful or happy depending on the piece. For your clients and team, there’s nothing better than spending the day with art that impacts the way you feel and elevates your mood.
How did you select the artists to feature in our office?
We worked with a talented roster of emerging London artists. All are quite accomplished, having exhibited their work in shows here and abroad, including the recent Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. They have been chosen for prestigious residencies and received critical acclaim, including a recent feature in the Financial Times.
Why Emerging Artists?
Working with these artists is exciting for several reasons:
You can attend their exhibitions and see their work in person…when we’re not locked down that is!
They’re approachable, you’re often able to meet them or visit their studios to learn what has influenced their work.
You can acquire original artwork without breaking the bank and you’re supporting early career artists
You never know who’s going to be the next big thing!
