Connecting and Collecting

“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time. ”

— Thomas Merton

I want to share a few tips with you about getting the most from enjoying original art in your home.

First and foremost, art is about more than just filling up blank walls—it's about connecting with pieces that resonate with you and have a story to tell. When you find an artist whose work you love, take the time to learn about their journey and inspirations. Follow them on social media, read about their process, and even reach out if you can. Building a relationship with the artists can give you a deeper appreciation for their work and make your collection even more meaningful.

Having artwork with a story or personal connection can be a great conversation starter with family and friends. Imagine how you'll feel when you share the story of how you discovered the piece and the artist's story behind it. Plus, following an artist means you get to witness their growth and evolution, which can add an extra layer of significance to the pieces you own.

Having original art in your life is an investment in your own happiness and inspiration. Choose pieces that speak to you, and don't be afraid to let your emotions guide you. Happy collecting!
