- Artist Statement -
If you don't know what to buy -
buy what you like.
Your HDTV will not appreciate -
your art collection will.
Like fresh cut flowers -
original artwork is good for the soul.
If you can't afford a painting - remind a friend your birthday is coming.
If the painting doesn't match the sofa - toss the sofa.
Artwork you give your parents - comes back to you in the will.
What happens on the internet stays on the internet - there in lies the problem.
Assume that whatever you take out on your waiter -
your waiter will take out on your meatloaf.
Rent only lasts a month - a painting is forever.
Why should museums have all the good art...
