"Morton Contemporary Art Advisory has been instrumental in curating a stunning collection of original, commissioned artwork that not only elevates the interior spaces of our 500 unit luxury Washington DC residential property, GALLERY 64, but also defines a distinctive brand identity. Debbie, the owner, helped us to identify the key locations for art, and then had more than 60 original artworks individually made for each and every wall that was to receive art. With strong relationships spanning both local and international artists, Morton offers access to exceptional, one-of-a-kind pieces at remarkable value. Their expertise as a gallery and art advisory ensures that every selection seamlessly complements the design vision while fostering meaningful connections between artists and collectors. Debbie is a true curator of inspiration, bringing artistry and elegance together with unmatched finesse."

"Morton Contemporary Art Advisory curated, sourced and installed more than 60 unique, one of a kind paintings for our $250,000 million dollar project on Embassy Row in Washington DC. Maplewood Senior Living bought and converted the former FAIRFAX Hotel in DC into a luxury senior living residential property in 2024-2025. Debbie was recommended to us through our architects, and she exceeded our expectations. Each individual painting was commissioned for each individual wall, to fit our space needs and to reflect the building’s aesthetic"

"Morton Art Advisory curated 200+ one-of-a-kind paintings and photographs for INSPIR EMBASSY ROW, our nine-story luxury residence in DC. The art has elevated our concept significantly – it’s the first detail people remark upon when they walk in the door, and they are awe struck! Working with Debbie, the owner, was a joy—highly professional, lightning-efficient, and uncanny at connecting brand to design. The team couldn’t have been happier; we can’t wait to partner again."

"I’ve been an interior designer working on the Philadelphia Mainline for over 20 years. As a designer, I understand how important art is to a room. I’ve designed many rooms starting with the artwork as the inspiration and building the rest of the room accordingly. For several years, Morton Contemporary Art Advisory has been my go-to for fine contemporary art. Owner, curator and art advisor, Debbie Morton, has an extraordinary eye, a talent for finding interesting art from around the world, while supporting local artists in a truly exceptional way. When sourcing art, I always start my search with Morton Art Advisory."

"I’ve worked closely with curator and art advisor, Debbie Morton, both for my home and my commercial real estate developments. Recently, we collaborated on infusing two of her artists into the common areas of a newly finished 146 unit apartment building in Philadelphia called, The Quincy. Debbie helped curate, orchestrate, coordinate, frame and hang all of the artwork. She took my vision and helped realize it into a beautifully finished landscape of 30 pieces of art that I couldn’t fully imagine on my own. Debbie is everything you could ask for - a great communicator, fantastic taste, a keen eye - a consummate professional that delivers on customer service. And, to top it off, she’s sweet, kind, patient, and genuine. I couldn’t be more happy with the projects we’ve worked on and the relationship we’ve developed. I would highly recommend working with Debbie, her staff and art advisory. "

"Debbie Morton is our go-to art advisor. She provides valuable assistance when selecting art with thoughts about placement based on color, texture, subject matter, and how each piece will look in its intended space. But while she provides this important and thoughtful advice, her focus is on our personal tastes, making sure our aesthetics are front of mind. Debbie’s collection of art in her gallery - as well as her extensive network with a diverse group of artists - provides us with a wide choice of beautiful and impactful pieces. Several of the pieces we have purchased from Debbie over the years are among our favorites in our collection. While Debbie’s expert advice is important to us as we continue to grow our collection, maybe what’s most important is that she is a lovely person to work with. Our visits to her gallery are always full of fun and laughter!"
