"Fitzgerald Fine Art has shown flexibility and creativity in problem solving surrounding the many different kinds of art and sculpture we have displayed. Most importantly, they have shown sensitivity in navigating the distance between artists and our institution, both in the protection of the space and in meeting the demands of the artists."

In December of 2001, the United States Botanic Garden requested Fitzgerald Fine Art design the inaugural exhibit "Floral Fascinations" in the newly renovated conservatory. Established by Congress in 1820, the Garden is located directly west of the Capitol Grounds, and is the nation's oldest continuously operating public garden.

"It is such a pleasure working with
Fitzgerald Fine Arts. Their good sense, good taste and ease in working around hectic
clients and short schedules have made our projects a true success. In fact when it came
time to select art work for our own office I can't imagine having called any one
else." |

In 1990 Lillian Fitzgerald worked with Lombardi Cancer Research Center at Georgetown University to establish the Atrium Gallery and with the Children's Inn on the art collection for their new facility. A delightful, interactive "Discovery Alphabet" was created with original art donated by area artists for the children at the Inn.

When Fitzgerald Fine Arts was asked to create an art package for the new clubhouse at Lowes Island Country Club in rural Virginia, they responded to the dramatic views of the Potomac River. FFA commissioned six artists to create sixteen paintings, pastels, and watercolors that celebrated the surrounding countryside. |

"Since 1993, the firm of Oblon, Spivak, McClelland, Maier & Neustadt P.C. has
turned to Fitzgerald Fine Arts for all of our artistic needs. From advice to placement,
Lillian Fitzgerald has captured our taste and served us masterfully."

A software company in Connecticut asked FFA to create an art package that would be colorful and contemporary, with imagery that reflected computer technology. FFA’s solution was lively abstract silk screens of layered systems in simple maple frames.
Over the past twenty years, health care has provided FFA with many opportunities to meet the needs of patients, staff, and visitors. FFA selected folk art for a nuclear medicine waiting area, lovely soft pastels of family life for an Alzheimer’s unit, and urban images and atmospheric photographs for an award-winning AIDS clinic. Lillian Fitzgerald curates a successful gallery that provides a stimulating environment for the hospital and exhibition space for local and international artists.
"The National Institutes of Health, being both a research hospital and a government facility, adds a heightened sensitivity to the artwork we exhibit, which provides us a great opportunity to reach people"

| Sean Callahan I have been walking the halls of NIH in the past six years as a patient and have always been in awe of the incredible artwork that hangs here. I have secretly had a goal to hang my own work here some day but never thought it would be a reality. I started painting seriously six years ago when I first started coming to NIH. I had studied art in college but pursued business soon after graduation, putting the paintbrushes down. Many years later, after I found out I was not well, it made me take a step back and slow down and take stock. I needed to find something to help me relax. I started painting watercolors because I could travel with them easily and could use them in while I was in the hospital. This diversion I started has become a serious form of therapy for me, and has helped me deal with the everyday struggle of having a serious illness. I have also found some success as a watercolor artist while living in Vermont. I am presently in three galleries and do shows throughout the state. I truly believe that this illness has helped me rediscover my art and put my life in the direction I needed to go. This show is a realization of a dream for me. |
A California restaurant chain needed help researching photographs from the Library of Congress. They wanted an eclectic mix of historical black and white images in distinctive frames. FFA ordered the photographs, then searched the warehouse of their framing wholesaler to find a wide variety of unusual moldings. FFA installed clusters of photos that filled the restaurant walls, successfully working with artwork that ranged in size from 3 by 5 inches to a panorama of the University of Virginia that measured 5 by 10 feet.
As a member of the Public Art Committee of the Alexandria Commission for the Arts, Lillian Fitzgerald photographed and recorded the condition of the public art for the City of Alexandria. This was foundation for the current inventory.
