“I’m a big impulse buyer. I bought this without knowing the measurements. If it had been a quarter of an inch larger it wouldn’t have fit in my old apartment. To get it in this space, it had to be disassembled and rebuilt!”

“I purchased this one with the other one. I love the texture and depth that drew me to it. The grid in the background, the layering, the techniques on one another fascinate me.”

“This is the first piece you see in the house. It’s in the entry area. Nancy Simonds is such a lovely lady and I always knew I wanted something of hers to be part of my collection. It’s the color palette of my whole house. It introduces you to my home.”

“These two pieces hang above my bed in the master bedroom. They create harmony and continue the apartment’s color scheme. I love the use of texture and color in the pieces and they go great with the big green ginger jar lamps on the nightstands.”

“Phillip is an artist I’ve always admired. For years I knew I would have something of his. One day I walked into a gallery and saw this 8 x 8 piece and thought, ‘Oh my God, that’s it.’ I first purchased one then bought the others. They are small, but they carry themselves well. They have enough oomph to hold their own.”

“I’ve used her in the past of clients. This one was commissioned for me as a gift. I love the metallic look. I love things that have horizontal lines.”

“The first photo is by Anton Rocz. The checkerboard pattern is so classic. There’s no reason you can’t put one piece with the other.”

“It’s a watercolor in sepia. I’m a big Hockney fan and it reminded me of Hockney. It’s a man standing in a pool. I love the angle.”
