A Lifetime of Pleasure from Real Artwork

I want to encourage everyone to own a piece of original artwork.  One has such pleasure of seeing and appreciating the piece on a daily basis.  Owning an original allows you to have a deeper understanding of the creative process of the artist. I guarantee that original art work will enhance and add beauty to one's life.

 The process of daily appreciation is not similarly achievable with poster art from big box retailers.  One always knows that this form of "art" (posters) is disposable.  It is only for decorative purposes.  One simply cares for an original piece of work and sees something new in it daily.  After our lifetime, the work will transcend time by being appreciated by a new "owner".
