I cannot tell you what was the exact piece that brought me to my revelation, but when I realized in my 12th grade AP Art History class that art was the most beautiful and sincere way to experience the world in its past and present, my life changed.

From then on I have received art - paintings, sculptures, architecture and more as important relics of mankind. I do not take it lightly when someone bestows the title of artist upon themself because that is an essential role in the world.
I often find myself stimulated by the art surrounding me. When walking past government buildings I can be heard identifying the different types of columns based on the capital and flutes. Or when perusing Instagram I get excited when I see a modern artist post their own rendition of “The Kiss” by Gustav Klimt.

​

What I enjoy most about art, besides how it portrays our vast world and history, is its sheer existence. Think about it. Art stems from the idea of a concept that someone just thought up mixed with their passion to create, resulting in a piece for us all to enjoy. If that’s not the most beautiful thing that you can experince, then I don’t know what to say.

My interests of the arts, which let me be clear includes visual arts, music, dance, theater, writing, winemaking, etc. but for the sake of having a focal point I am dedicating this page to visual arts, varies from genuine appreciation to skillful curation and tasteful collection.

 

I am eager to learn more about the strategic process of building one’s collection and curating a masterful assortment/ showcase. 

​

With that being said, I invite you to reach out if  you’re an artist, work in curation, building your collection, or just want to hear more about my thoughts on this business of art.
