In a world dominated by digital screens and constant connectivity, the need for intentional breaks is real. But if you are anything like me, you need a lot of components to make this possible. Books alone will not keep me well. Friends and community helps. But when I find myself scrolling the most is when I’m just at home laying around, wanting to chill.

Hey savvy art enthusiasts! So, you've got your eyes on that gorgeous piece, and you're wondering if there’s any world at all you could get tax benefits from buying it. Good question, we should always be checking our benefits. Let's talk about it.

So, you've finally found awesome pieces of art, and now you need to figure out how to place it and coordinate it with your decor so it can create the maximum impact in your space.

You have a lot of options of your approach to decorating. And while a huge blank wall to display your new work is wonderful, it’s not a must. Let's chat about turning your space into a curated viewing experience.

Art is an investment. In terms of expense, and real estate on your wall, not to mention personal style, and what your pieces say about you. There’s a lot to consider when you’re buying art.

I thought it would be helpful to write out a few things I encourage my clients to consider when making these buying decisions.

One of the most valuable aspects of my work with clients is developing their personalized strategy to collecting. Having a

Focus on the art.

Art is such an effective way to make your home super luxe.

Art is not only highly esthetically pleasing, but when done right, it is also really personalized.

What demonstrates luxury more than something customized to you as an individual? IMO nothing.

Become a more interesting and fulfilled person via your art collection? Sounds great right? Let me tell you how you can do this.

It is my somewhat loud opinion that art should be a resource in your life. This is what differentiates being an art collector a meaningful venture, and not a hobby. When you build a relationship with art, and take the time to connect it to aspects of your daily life it will enrich your life and create more opportunity for meaning-making.

When you have taken the time to build …

Yes, let’s get into where you can score your next piece. And, an affordable piece at that.

So, you're on a mission to spruce up your space with some cool art, but the big question is: where do you find art

Ever wondered why having art in your home is not just a decor choice but a life-enhancing move? Let's dive into the world of creating a home art collecting and explore why your living space deserves a tailored curation of art.

Let’s get one thing out of the way right up top. There is good art and bad art. 100%. This is super different from style, preference and taste. And as an art consultant it is not my job to tell someone what to like, but to present them with good art that fits their esthetic. Whether or not I like it or would buy it…

This is a question with many many answers.

I’d like to explore a few that resonate with me here. You can find a whole series of videos on this on my social media if you’re interested! And this will probably continue to be editing as I explore more purposes with clients.

I think the purpose of art has rightly …

I can almost guarantee you’ve believed one of these pervasive misconceptions about the art world…. That sucks. And it’s completely not your fault.

We have been repeatedly fed these stories. Let me start to discredit these beliefs, please, because by buying into them you are keeping yourself from so much beauty and meaning and enrichment.

I see these beliefs pop up time and again when talking with clients and prospective clients.

I know so many people who don’t know their own personal style. They end up borrowing their homes, their fashion, their esthetic from someone else. And, while this seems strange when you think about it, I get how this happened. We are really not taught to find our own unique expression.

We are continually pressured by individuals, by social media or by culture to blend in, from the earliest age imaginable. In practice this looks like people picking art based on what they’ve seen in other people’s homes on Instagram, for example. It looks like people fitting themselves within trends, as opposed to…

When I work with clients I never use art jargon. I never talk about art history. I don’t talk about art movements or techniques, schools of thought, disciplines, none of that.

I actually think it’s detrimental, and I think the usage of academic terminology has kept so many people from enjoying collecting and art. It is snobbish, difficult to relate to, and very often pretentious. Even when the person talking has…

Art collectors and incredibly essential to artists. Here’s why.

Artists are meaning makers. We derive almost everything from the artists. They are the producers of culture—fashion, language, design, music. They are the taste makers. They shape the way we understand the culture around us. They also play the critical role of…

It has fallen wildly short of making itself relevant and pervasive.

I have loved art since I was a young child, but did not really feel comfortable or at ease in art spaces until probably five years ago. How does someone who loves and seeks out the arts remain on-edge and full of trepidation when engaging with it? What does that mean for the rest of the population who does not already have that love of art?

What I have learned is we have some firmly planted misconceptions…

"To be intimate with my body I must be close to death. I must be willing to tell what I've seen." —bell hooks

I spend a lot of time thinking about intimacy. About what it means, how we exhibit it, how it enters a dynamic (any dynamic). Intimacy seems to me like the tiniest moment, the smallest knowledge, the faintest brushing with another…

Focus on the art.

Art is such powerful way to turn your home into a luxury interior. Let me explain.

Art is not only highly esthetically pleasing (even if your guests or followers don’t resonate with the pieces you’ve selected), but when done right, it is also really personalized.

What demonstrates luxury more than something customized to you as an individual? IMO nothing.

Think about it. When you have …
