Why Buy Art?

It's important to buy artwork that you absolutely love and that you are proud to hang on the walls of your home. Starting an art collection is an investment in the beauty of your home, but also the experience of our gifts when you look at it.
Art is more than just decoration. It's about the feeling that it gives, it's about celebrating the culture of the artist, it's about sharing a story or communicating an important message.
If art was just about decoration. Then you can go buy some artwork from the dollar store but it's not the same as buying an original piece of artwork from an artist, especially a local artist or an artist that you have really come to know, like and appreciate their work for who they are as a person.

It's important to really choose artwork that you have a personal connection that you absolutely love and that you want to look at day after day artwork hanging on your walls is telling a story about who you are as a person what you value and what you appreciate if you want to make sure that the artwork that you choose really reflects who you are as a person.
Hanging artwork on the walls of your home is really going to transform your house and make it feel more like home because you are displaying things that you love for people to see when they come over and visit.

If you see a captivating piece of art, you're naturally going to want to learn more about it, learn about artist who created it and want to know what the artwork means especially if it's a piece of abstract work or it's a large or bold, or colourful artwork is able to strike up a conversation with people who come over to your house.
A lot of the artwork that I make encourages mindfulness and awareness, the artwork that I create as calm and peaceful, allowing you to really look at it, and to be able to appreciate the beauty of nature that you see reflected in the artwork itself.
