Everything is chosen, everything was expensive, and it still feels like a very nice hotel. There is usually one reason.

Inherited work carries obligation as much as beauty. A gentle way to sort out what stays, what goes, and what to do with the guilt.

Everything you actually need to know about looking after an original, which is far less than most people fear.

Walls of glass are the whole point of building here, and they leave you with fewer walls and more light. Both are solvable.

The single biggest environmental event of the year for a painting in Arizona, and almost nobody connects the two.

Five places I would think twice about in a Valley home, and the good news is that every house here has plenty of walls that work beautifully.

A practical answer to a question people ask me constantly, including when it is genuinely not worth the trouble.

Most damage to art happens in a move, and most of it is preventable. What to do, and the four things never to do.

A personal look at why original art belongs naturally in Scottsdale’s private aviation lounges, offices, hangars, and travel spaces.
