Portraits of a collection

This page was created after recognizing that many of the art pieces that I own deserved to be further researched beyond the autobiographical and historical significance of where, when, and how they were purchased. Of course each of these items carries much symbolic meaning that I have attributed to over the time that I have been able to be the custodian of these magic and meaningful pieces. I hope that some of my thoughts through these short vignettes will allow you to discover a world that continues to amaze me as I continue to research each of them. Bonne lecture!
