✨ This series is an in-between space for sharing behind-the-scenes thoughts and honest reflections.
Change has a way of stirring things up—like a gust that lifts the edges of what’s familiar, reminding you that growth often begins with a little motion.
Lately, I’ve felt that wind picking up again. The kind that doesn’t push, but nudges—gently, steadily—whispering it’s time to evolve, to reimagine.
After three and a half years with the gallery, I’ve had the privilege of listening. To artists. To collectors. To visitors who walk through the door and say, “I don’t need more art,” then somehow leave with their hands full and their hearts lighter. They’re drawn to connection—to the story behind each piece, to the experience of finding something that speaks to them.
Our current space is wonderful, it's large—it’s where countless conversations, shows, and stories have taken root. Big enough that treasures sometimes get lost in the mix, tucked between displays or overshadowed by the next colorful thing.
So I’ve been thinking about how to pull it all forward. How to take what we do best—the art, the creativity, the feeling—and give it space to breathe again. To make room for moments that feel more personal, more connected.
Maybe growth doesn’t always mean expanding outward. Maybe it means refining—listening closer, curating with purpose, letting each piece and experience shine a little brighter.
That’s where my heart is right now—refining, reimagining, and creating something that feels more intentional—shaping something that feels focused, inspired, and full of possibility.
Every new chapter begins quietly—like the moment before a brush meets canvas and every great story has a turning point—and this one’s ours. Change can be both familiar and brand new, all at once.
The winds of change are swirling just in time for the holiday season, and I couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead. It feels like the perfect time to open the next chapter—one that brings everything I love about art, design, and community together in a fresh, intentional way.
Full details are under wraps (for now), but it’s safe to say the next chapter will be full of art, beauty, and a few surprises along the way.
✨ Stay tuned—the story is just beginning to unfold.
Thanks for walking alongside me in both the art and the in-between places.
