You Don’t Have to Know Anything About Art to Be a Collector

You don’t need an art degree to trust what you feel.

You don’t need to know the history of abstraction. You don’t need to recognize every technique. You don’t need to say the right things about composition or palette.

You just need to feel something when you look at it. A pull. A pause. A recognition.

That’s it. That’s the whole thing.

Being a collector isn’t about credentials. It’s about resonance. It’s about giving yourself permission to say:
“I want to live with this.”

Because collecting art isn’t about proving you understand it. It’s about choosing what understands you.

You don’t need permission to collect original work. You don’t need to wait until you “know more.” You just need to trust that the feeling is real—and worth honoring.

Art is for you. If something moves you, you're allowed to say yes.
