What It Means to Own a One-of-a-Kind Work of Art
So many people ask me: How long did it take you to create this painting? It’s a natural question, but true artist royalty knows the deeper truth—art is not measured in hours, but in the lifetime of experience, skill, and emotion poured into each piece.
When I create a work of art, it isn’t just about the hours spent in front of the canvas. It isn’t just about the colors, textures, or final composition. A painting isn’t just the moment of its making—it is the sum of a lifetime.
Each brushstroke carries the weight of my years of study, my travels, my inspirations, my heartbreaks, and my triumphs. The colors I choose are informed by memories of twilight skies in Santa Fe, the electric energy of New York streets, the quietude of a sunrise over the desert. The movement in my work comes from years of exploring gesture and form, from thousands of moments spent getting lost in the rhythm of creation.
When I paint, I enter a rare, elusive state called flow—a space where time dissolves, where instinct takes over, where the art creates itself through me. Many people have never experienced this state, but for me, it is where I live when I am before my easel, painting from my heart. A work might take two hours to complete, but it has taken me a lifetime to be able to create it. Every brushstroke is backed by years of dedication, by the refining of my craft, by the deep well of experience I draw upon each time I touch paint to canvas.
Owning a one-of-a-kind work of art means you own more than just an object—it means you hold a piece of the artist’s journey, a fragment of their soul. It means you are bringing into your home something that cannot be replicated, something infused with the rare magic of true creative expression.
When you look at an original painting, you are not just seeing what’s on the surface. You are witnessing the unseen: the countless hours of practice, the struggles and breakthroughs, the fleeting moments of inspiration captured before they vanish. You are bringing into your world an energy, a presence, a heartbeat that exists only in that singular work of art.
This is why original art holds so much power. It isn’t about how long it took to create—it’s about the life that made it possible. And when you own an original piece, you become part of that story. You become a steward of the artist’s vision, a collector of something truly unique. You hold in your hands a piece of someone’s flow, someone’s passion, someone’s life.
