5 Reasons Why Art is the Ultimate Gift

1. It is entirely one of a kind: 

Hand made gifts that are made specifically for your recipient are one of kind. 
This is a priceless gift in itself.

2.  A gift of art is a bespoke gift for a birthday or anniversary:

It can show how much someone cares for you when someone goes to the trouble to bring a piece of art into existence, just for them.
Commissioning a piece for someone demonstrates thought and love; it is personal and entirely theirs.

3.  Art work is sentimental:

Many of my commissioned works are memorial portraits of beloved pets. 

They are often fan arts or special memories put to paper. They become heirlooms to be passed along through through generations.

4. Art in your home brings joy:

Walking into the room and seeing the art work brings a sense of joy, a smile to your face and can lift the mood of your space. A home with art creates talking points and conversations.  It becomes a friend to sit and look into, or keeps a memory or passion alive.

5. Art instills a sense of awe:

Ethan Kross, a professor of psychology at the University of Michigan has researched awe’s effect on mental health. He knows feelings of awe can have a truly profound influence on the mind – enhancing our memory and creativity as well as inspiring us to act more altruistically to the people around us. It can also have a profound impact on our mental health, by allowing us to put our anxieties into perspective.
