Finding you inner voice.
The accumulation of art is a personal act.
Hang it in your special place.
View it in your moments of need.
Share it with those who have a desire to know you.
Your art tells you what you know about yourself at a given moment.
Beyond the physical gathering of objects, art collecting is a gathering together of personal experiences and meaningful life moments documented through images that tell a collector's personal story.
Our personal experiences and aspirations are the key drivers to collecting art. Anything can be collected, but that does not necessarily mean that the objects will have meaning, influence and purpose. A powerful collection of art must arise from the aligned perspective and spirit of the buyer, an artist and the time that they are living in.
The level of personal enlightenment and awareness that a collector brings to their life will influence the caliber of the artists and the depth of works they collect.
A collection is an accumulation of all things considered to be memorable, meaningful, masterful and extraordinary to a time, a place, a moment and/or a life.
Creating a collection is the process of finding and expressing one's inner voice.

How true.... it's interesting how we mark our lives with the things we collect... "remember when we got that? ... Oh and that was from our trip to..." and your memories immediately return. For me the objects collected inspire richer memories than photographs. Thanks for sparking this insight!
Hi Deb, is it not amazing how memory and inspiration are so intertwined with the sacredness/power of the objects that we collect?
Thank you for your feedback. Happy living and 'collecting' of yourself.
