Welcome

"The presence of the original is the prerequisite to the concept of authenticity."
~ Walter Benjamin ~
Precisely! In this world of reproductions it's a reminder that if one lacks the ownership of an original piece of art, one doesn't experience the aura of the 'real thing'. Kinda true isn't it. That's why we go to museums and art galleries. We get nurtured by them. But the fact is you can begin to collect and fill your home with even one beautiful work of art by simply looking for pieces you fall in love with. You could say that art is like love. When you find it, life takes on a new meaning!

Please be prepared to experience something fresh.
​The proof is here.
