I Don’t Worship Beauty

Beauty Demands More: I Must Make—And I Must Collect—Art

Not art that’s decorative or ornamental—
Art that stops me cold.
That makes me pause mid-sentence, mid-deal, mid-thought.
That demands my attention. My honesty. My realignment.


Beauty that commands.
That’s why I make art.

And why I collect it.

The work I live with is not chosen lightly.
I collect what confronts me. What moves me. What reorients me.
Beauty that transforms me from the inside out.
That makes me stop and ask: Am I living the way I want to live?

I remember every piece I couldn’t walk away from.
The ones I regret not buying.

The ones I felt in my body before I even understood them.
They changed something in me—and still do.

Not because they’re valuable—though they often are.
Because they have presence.
Because they shift the energy of the space around them—
and the space within me.

The best collectors already know:
Art isn’t there to blend in.
It’s there to speak. To disrupt. To demand.

The paintings I create carry that same force.
They’re not made to be passive.
They’re made to live with you.
To challenge. To steady. To reveal.

If you’ve ever stood in front of a piece and felt yourself shift—
Then you already understand.
That moment of recognition isn’t random.
It’s a calling.

Become a Collector. Commission what speaks to you .
Book a Private Showing. Or inquire about Luxury Art Retreats in my private Santa Fe studio.

Because I don’t just want you to see the art.
I want you to live it.
