1. Indefinable quality that signals to us that you know how to paint. Regardless of style, media or subject (doesn’t matter if it’s super representational or abstract expressionist), true talent and ability will shine (and sell!)
2. We wait for “aha” moment, when we draw a breath or the pulse quickens. We’re firm believers in art being an emotional investment and that purchases or decisions are best made when they come from the heart.
3. We like to see a range. Many times, we get images that draw our attention…but when we do further research, we see that the artist isn’t as strong (or conversely is even better!) in other areas or subject matters.
4. Because it’s our gallery, we get to choose what we love – and we love the mix!

One final point: We don’t sell! That’s right; we’ve learned that you can’t sell art because of its emotional and personal quality. We’ve found that people usually know what they like and what they want, and we respect that. And of course we’ve found that great art speaks for itself! So instead of selling, we like to educate, inform and facilitate the buying process by providing an easy, comfortable and pleasant environment for our clients. It works for our clients, and happily, it works for us.
