How does an art advisor help collectors? Save time, snag deals, and tap insider access.

After years of showing art across Europe and the U.S., I’ve seen it time and again: beginner collectors freeze up. At a packed Detroit gallery show, I’d chat with excited students and professionals about my paintings—only to hear, “I don’t know what people would think if I bought this.” Too often, they’re not buying art they love; they’re chasing trends or approval. Here’s the truth: hyped-up pieces crash, but art you believe in? That’s where the real value grows—emotionally and financially.
