If you have been thinking about buying a piece of an artists work for a while, here are a few great points about why investing in art can be truly empowering for you and your home.

As an artist, I believe that original art can bring a special energy and beauty to your home. Here are a few reasons why you should consider investing in original art:

• Uniqueness : Original art is one-of-a-kind and cannot be replicated. When you purchase original art, you are acquiring a unique piece that will always be an interesting conversation starter, a source of inspiration for years to come, and a way of surrounding yourself with art that really speaks to you.

• Connection to yourself : Original art provides a connection to your world, bringing the beauty of what you love into your home. In a world where mass-produced imported goods are in every shop, buying original art can really help you reconnect with what makes you, you. Buying from an artist with similar interests, values and inspirations can elevate your space from a house to your home. Think of it as a reinforcement of who you are and what you love.

• Emotional impact : Art has the power to evoke emotions and feelings. So remember to choose what you visually surround yourself with. Does the art make you feel happy, proud, inspired, loved, alive? Then that's probably your hint to take the leap and buy something you truly relate to, to feel those emotions each time you view your own original.

• Investment : Original art is an investment in your home, as well as in the artist who created it. By purchasing original art, you are supporting the artist and helping to sustain the art community. Not only that, but when you buy from an artist who is working their way up in the art world, your piece of cherished art may even increase in value over time. Meaning not only owning something you love, but something that could also make a return on your investment in the future.

When you invest in my work : When you choose to purchase one of my pieces, you are not just adding a work of art to your home, but also a piece of my heart and my connection to the natural world. I hope that my art becomes a source of joy and inspiration for you, reminding you of the beauty and wonder of natures healing every day. Reminding you to slow down and focus on the little things for a while. You can read more about my vision as an artist here.
