why buy my paintings?

When you buy art from me, you are directly supporting me and my local economy. It is only through people like you, that artist like me can continue to bring my amazing works to the world and find success doing what I love all the while making the world a more interesting place.

Purchasing an oil painting by me is generally a sound investment!  From a purely financial standpoint, a good painting should appreciate in value over time as the artist’s standing and reputation grows. How much the painting appreciates depends on the level of accomplishment the artist achieves. Even if the painting appreciates a small amount, it’s still a better investment than most everything else in your life, which requires repeated replacement or maintenance.


Financial considerations aside, the number one reason fine art is a great investment is that it's all about quality of life. Money can’t buy happiness, but a great painting can generate feelings of happiness, calm, nostalgia, joy, and more of those emotions each time you look at it. A great painting can light up a room and occupies its own space. And no, it doesn't need to match your couch. It simply needs to speak to you. Most of the trappings of our daily lives are just accessories -- clothes for instance go out of fashion, cars break down, furniture wears out. But a great painting continues to live for generations with little to no upkeep required.

Few things allude to your intelligence and taste like an original painting. In these times of cutbacks, teaching our children the value of art is almost entirely up to their parents, as schools eliminate arts programs altogether. A great painting represents the law of increasing returns. Over time it becomes a cherished member of the family.

As the world seems to lose its way, art provides positive and fertile ground for the intelligent creative mind. Art bridges across cultures, continents and class. Art relieves stress and helps keep us grounded. Since the days of the caveman, art has held up our hopes, dreams, fears, and creativity for all to share. Art is a universal language, as the world becomes increasingly divided, art has the power to help unite us. A great painting is the result not only of the artist’s vision, but also a skillful execution in paint, a story told one stroke at a time. Artists often experience joy and discovery when they are deep in the creative process. Collectors share that passion and creativity when the bring art into their home.

I am always amazed when I visit a beautiful well furnished home with no original art on the walls. The average person thinks nothing of spending thousands of dollars on possesions that depreciate, but never really considers what a great value original art really is. For less than the cost of a new computer, or spring wardrobe, you can acquire an original oil painting that will enrich your life and quite possibly appreciate in value over time. Art can cost less than jewelry, a car, or a cruise, and it's a very visible conversation piece in your home that you'll talk about for years to come.

One of the tenants of happiness is stepping outside your day to day routine, and looking at life from a new perspective. Art provides that window.
