Practically everything around you first started as a thought; an idea that the creator (notice the small “c”) believed in and carried through to completion. All is art, and I’ve heard it said that art is a window to the soul?—?of both the artists and the collectors. We have selected a range of mediums and sensibilities that represent the unique styles and we hope, a glimpse into the artists’ realm of “believe?—?and then make it.”
