Research & Legacy

Researching and writing about our artwork is at the heart of what we do. Much of our artwork is previously uncatalogued. We invest a lot of time investigating and identifying the subject of a picture—whether that be the location, the building, the flower, the scene—and telling the story behind our artworks.

Each artwork comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and beautifully printed research notes—a keepsake to preserve its unique history for future generations.
