Favorite Picks•These pieces share a cool, calm color tone and are all abstract. I like the openness of abstract art. The viewer brings his or her own memories, interpretation and mood to the piece and the artwork can mean something different each time you look at it.
Selecting Art•You'll know it when you see it. Artwork just speaks to you, it evokes a very strong and specific emotional reaction. I tell my clients to disregard price and preconceptions of what's "good" or "important" and simply buy what's meaningful to them or what makes them feel good.
Why Buy Original Art?•It's an expression of who you are and what is important to you. It's a connection with an artist and with the world. If you choose a piece of artwork with your family, then it's an expression of your shared taste and view of the world. And if you choose on your own, you're conveying your personality and priorities. Buying original artwork says you care about making the world beautiful.
