Why should you own original art?

What a feeling..... to have an original piece of art that no one else in the world has! In this world full of mass produced items, it offers a uniqueness that is rare.

Most of us take time and much consideration when buying original art. This process makes the owning of it all the more exciting. When that decision has been made and your art is hanging on your  wall, it provides an emotional connection that you just don’t have with a print.

What draws you to a piece? It could be that it sparks a certain memory for you, or elicits a special feeling in you. Selecting art that is meaningful to you is a form of self-expression you can share with others. This experience encourages conversations that can bring you closer to those  viewing your art.

Isn’t a copy just as good? Original artwork has a depth that a printed piece is missing. Prints can leave us with a flat feeling. Texture, brushstrokes are seen and add dimension. Colors, as the artist intended them to be, are present in an original painting.

Do you entertain in your home? One of a kind pieces are conversation starters for your guests. Business dinners, holiday parties or friends dropping by are all occasions where your art can be a great ice-breaker. You all get the chance to share your viewpoints on art, culture, beauty and social issues, just to name a few.

Your life is enriched when your surroundings, at home or at work, are elevated by beauty, character and warmth. This is what art can do to a space. The power of great art in a room is transformative!
