The Colored Pencil Artist

Some rooms are one decision away from being right.

"Put it on" is worth considering as that decision. If a certain room immediately comes to mind, it might be worth exploring.

People sometimes feel they need to be able to articulate why they want a particular work before they are allowed to buy it. That is not how it works.

The attraction does not need a defense. You do not have to be able to explain Leonardo to someone who asks; you just have to know it belongs in your space.

The explanation, if you want one, tends to arrive later on its own.

Every work that reaches a collector is the result of many decisions, including the decision not to show what came before it.

The finished work is not the whole story. It is the end of a longer, quieter process that most collectors never see.

When you live with Here s Johnny, you are living with the result of the artistic process and all that comes with it.

The most confident collectors share one habit. They display the work and let it make an impact.

Interior designers often talk about sightlines. They're the natural path your eye travels when you enter or move through a room.

Most people never think about this consciously, but they feel it. Art placed directly in a sightline changes a room immediately.

Placement is as intentional as the work itself.

I think "Ariana Grande" could fit into a few different places. Where will you display it?

A lot of people hold off on collecting art because they rent and feel uncertain about committing to walls they do not own. But art does not belong to a wall. It belongs to you.

Renting is not a reason to live with bare walls. It is a reason to collect work that matters enough to keep moving (and growing) with you.

"Moonlight" and my other work are connected to the people who love them, not just the places they're displayed.
