Collectors, I understand your desire to support artists and to live with artwork in your personal life. I began collecting art in 2009 and found that one of the greatest joys in life is to support creativity and be surrounded by it.

In addition to helping artists succeed, my passion is to help connect collectors to art that brings them pleasure and inspiration. Art enhances quality of life by bringing us beauty, inquisition, reflection, solace, and even wellness. Have you noticed that you feel good when you're in certain environments and with certain people? Art can create this experience in your personal environments through the color, memories, and subconscious associations that are uniquely a part of you. Finding works of art to acquire is like finding puzzle pieces that fit perfectly into your world and can even make you feel more complete.

Artists shape our world, hold our histories, and convey universal truths through expressing their creativity.

Art is essential to all of our lives. However, being a professional artist doesn't mean you'll walk an easy path. These days it requires more than just making art; you may wear many hats while marketing your art, while communicating with galleries and collectors, and while understanding how to sell your work. Selling art and working within the rigid structures of the art can feel as mysterious as it does difficult. I believe the art world is inherently flawed and outdated, yet I also believe it can still work for you. Your art is important and your voice deserves to be heard. We are building a new paradigm together by placing value and ethics first when it comes to your career.
