A New Chapter

After more than 30 years of buying and selling art and antiques, I’ve decided it’s time for a change. I am closing the retail portion of my business so that I can dedicate myself fully to making art. This transition marks the beginning of a long held dream, and I’m excited for what lies ahead. As part of the process, I will be liquidating my inventory over the coming months.

A 19th century Mexican folk retablo. Santa Rita de Santa Rita de Casia, patroness saint of impossible causes, is almost always depicted as she is here, with a spot of blood and a thorn deeply imbedded in her forehead. According to popular legend, in the year of 1441, during a sermon on the crown of thorns, Santa Rita prayed so intently that a thorn detached itself from her crucifix and lodged itself in her forehead. Her wound became so offensive that she spent the better part of her life in total isolation.
