What has your art collection taught you?

Not about art history or markets but about your own taste, your spaces, the way you spend your attention.

"Sunflowers Make Me Happy" is part of an ongoing conversation on my side of the screen.

I would genuinely like to hear what you have learned.

Happy Father's Day. To the fathers, the father figures, the ones who showed up in whatever form that took. Cheers.

Featuring "Homegrown Baby Bananas" today in the gallery.

When people move house, they make a hierarchy without realizing it.

Some things get donated, some get stored, some make the journey regardless of whether they make logical sense in the new space.

Art almost always travels. It is rarely the practical choice that moves with you. It is the things that meant something. Has that been true for you?

What have you moved more than once, and would "Rolito—Big Eyes" make that list?

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 Catnip Dreams 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 Misty Morning Mangroves, you are living with the result of the artistic process and all that comes with it.

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.

Where would you put Bouquet in a Blue Striped Vase?

I think "Kissed by a Beam" 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.

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