“I always give homeowners the chance to live with the art and to feel the energy and connection with it. If one of my clients wants to build a collection and isn’t sure what pieces are going to look good in the space, I’ll work with him or her to install the works in the space temporarily and even rotate the art within the room or elsewhere in the home until it’s to their liking.”
