A few weeks ago, I had one of those nights that was just good for the soul. ❤️

I met interesting people at a climate change event hosted by Dorian Bergen, had great conversations, shared lots of laughs, and spent time with friends.

It’s a good reminder that so much of life is about the people we meet along the way. New connections, old friends, interesting conversations—and a lot of laughter in between.

Friends really do make all the difference, and I’m so grateful for mine. ✨

Why does limited-edition art hold lasting value?

It represents more than scarcity. A limited edition is part of a finite, intentional body of work—shaped by the artist’s vision, carefully produced, numbered, and documented.

My latest blog explores how edition size, material, craftsmanship, and provenance contribute to a work’s lasting significance.

The right limited edition offers something rare: art made with the discipline to endure and the presence to remain meaningful over time.

I’m expanding my creativity into something new—designing one-of-a-kind brooches. ✨

This piece brings together the rich, celestial blue of lapis with gold and platinum, transforming beautiful materials into wearable art.

I’ve always loved exploring new ways to create. From painting and sculpture to jewelry, my work continues to evolve—because art doesn’t have to live only on a wall or pedestal. Sometimes, you can wear it. 💙✨

How do you choose the right sculpture scale for a room?

The answer goes beyond measurements. Architecture, viewing distance, furniture, placement, lighting, and the sculpture’s material all affect how it feels in a space.

My latest blog explores how to choose a sculpture with enough presence to be noticed while still allowing the room to breathe.

The right sculpture doesn't just fit the space—it makes the entire room feel more alive.

What a wonderful evening at the AKC Museum of the Dog! 🐾🎨

I was honored to have my artwork included in the Dog Days of Summer: Members Exhibition alongside so many talented artists.

It was especially lovely sharing the evening with fellow animal artist Joanne Magee, who also had her work featured in the exhibition.

A fun evening celebrating art, animals, creativity, and community in New York City. So grateful to have been part of it! ❤️

How do you start collecting contemporary art well?

Begin with the work that holds your attention—not simply what is trending or matches the room. A meaningful collection develops slowly through curiosity, careful research, and pieces you'll be grateful to live with.

My latest blog explores how to develop your eye, understand an artist’s practice, establish a responsible budget, request proper documentation, and select art with lasting personal significance.

The goal is not to own what appears important. It is to live with art that becomes more important to you over time.
