Last week, I had the pleasure of attending ISA’s annual appraisal conference in Phoenix, Arizona. These conferences are always invaluable—offering timely market insights, opportunities to deepen expertise in specialty areas, and, perhaps most importantly, the chance to reconnect with inspiring colleagues and friends from across the country and around the world.
Before the conference began, however, we checked off a few bucket-list destinations: Flagstaff, the Grand Canyon, and Sedona. Head over to my blog for a quick recap of the conference—key takeaways, standout sessions, and a few behind-the-scenes moments from Phoenix.

When Art Values Drop: Lessons from the Appraiser’s Desk
Owners often react with shock, disbelief, and disappointment—sometimes, it feels like they just want to shoot the messenger.
But how can such extreme differences in value be real? After 30 years in the field, I’ve seen it all. Here are a few key reasons why art values can change so dramatically...

Had a blast at this year's Cottonwood Art Festival !
This year 197 artists were chosen to exhibit out of nearly 1,400 submissions.
Started in 1969, the Cottonwood Art Festival has developed into one of the most prestigious fine art festivals in the U.S. Artists from all over come to exhibit their original artwork at Cottonwood Park in Richardson, Texas.
It is such a wonderful event and a great opportunity to see working artists display their creations. There is so much to see and fun things to do for the whole family.
If this event isn't on your yearly calendar, it needs to be!

Got to see Barney Smith's Toilet Seat Art Museum at Truck Yard in The Colony - Truly a whimsical and eclectic collection!
The Toilet Seat Art Museum showcases the life’s work of Barney Smith, who created over 1400 artworks out of toilet seats over many decades.
Smith was a plumber-turned-artist in San Antonio who used toilet seats as his canvas. He opened the original museum in 1992 in his backyard. Truck Yard bought the collection and established the museum in 2019.
This museum is free and open to the public!
