What has your art collection taught you?

Not about art history or markets but about your own taste, your spaces, the way you spend your attention.

"Morning Hunt" is part of an ongoing conversation on my side of the screen.

I would genuinely like to hear what you have learned.

Happy Father's Day. To the fathers, the father figures, the ones who showed up in whatever form that took. Cheers.

There is a reason the bald eagle stands as an enduring symbol of freedom, resilience, and raw, untamed grace. 🦅

Today is American Eagle Day, a day dedicated to celebrating the spectacular recovery of these magnificent raptors and honoring their place in our natural heritage.

Capturing these moments in the wild requires patience, but when you look through the lens and lock eyes with a creature this powerful, time completely stops. From the fierce intensity of a close-up profile to the quiet majesty of a sentinel watching over the treetops, these birds never cease to inspire awe.

Bring the spirit of the wild into your own home. Prints of these photographs and more wildlife moments are available on my website.

When people move house, they make a hierarchy without realizing it.

Some things get donated, some get stored, some make the journey regardless of whether they make logical sense in the new space.

Art almost always travels. It is rarely the practical choice that moves with you. It is the things that meant something. Has that been true for you?

What have you moved more than once, and would "SCN 0323 025-HIRES" make that list?

People sometimes feel they need to be able to articulate why they want a particular work before they are allowed to buy it. That is not how it works.

The attraction does not need a defense. You do not have to be able to explain Chilkat Mountain Range at Dusk to someone who asks; you just have to know it belongs in your space.

The explanation, if you want one, tends to arrive later on its own.

Every work that reaches a collector is the result of many decisions, including the decision not to show what came before it.

The finished work is not the whole story. It is the end of a longer, quieter process that most collectors never see.

When you live with Chilkat Mountain Range at Dusk, you are living with the result of the artistic process and all that comes with it.

A lot of people hold off on collecting art because they rent and feel uncertain about committing to walls they do not own. But art does not belong to a wall. It belongs to you.

Renting is not a reason to live with bare walls. It is a reason to collect work that matters enough to keep moving (and growing) with you.

"American Alligator in Manchac Swamp" and my other work are connected to the people who love them, not just the places they're displayed.
