The Conversation So Far

Trying something new is always fraught with doubts and anxieties, at least for me. When I became a full-time photographer and left corporate life behind, I worried a lot about success. I worried friends were simply being kind when they told me they liked my photographs. Perhaps, my friends had no artistic taste remembering the velvet doey eyed portraits of creatures that populated the walls of family rooms or the string of Franklin Mint dishes that ringed their walls. I am still gobsmacked and humbled when people would ask if I’d sell them a copy of a print. When I visit my dentist’s office, I still look around to see if she has removed the print I sold her and replaced it with something else.

The most persuasive reason to invest in limited edition prints is that art is beautiful. Placing art in a room or hallway can be transformative, creating a space that imbues a sense of joy or serenity, becoming a place for introspection.

 

Let’s face it. Art stirs an emotion in you, no matter the reason. A piece of art may make you remember something, or it makes you feel a certain way because of its theme or colours. Investing in art is primarily an emotional purchase because it speaks to you.

Right off the start, we want to tell you that 100% of all the profits made through the sale of prints will go to charity. At first glance folks may think that they misread that first statement or that this is part of some scam.
