I began selling art casually to supplement my teaching income while I lived in New York in the nineties. I met a very young artist who made large, expansive paintings with minimal color but great textural and graphic interest. A few weeks later I met an interior designer who lived in the heart of Manhattan. She
bought one of the artist's paintings through me and gave it a Fifth Avenue address. It became a huge
advertisement for my business. I'm still invited to see it hang in its posh enviornment amidst priceless
antiques and ancient artifacts. Ironically the very modern painting remains the lynchpin of this beautiful
apartment and is loved every day.
