CREATING THE LIFE YOU DESIRE
All of us are here on this earth to cultivate our own lives in order to enjoy the abundances that life provides and offers … It is through our own choices that we make which will determine the extent of abundance, prosperity and fulfillment we attract into our lives … Don’t wait for an invitation or permission from others … it will probably never come and it’s not their right or privilege to determine your destiny of whether or not you will reach your full potential and desires.

CAUGHT MY EYE …
Take Away #1 :
“There is a wave of new interest. According to Artnet data, 50 percent of prints and multiples lots went to first-time Artnet Auctions buyers between 2020 and 2025—a figure that Conner Williams, head of prints and multiples at Artnet Auctions, sees as evidence of a meaningful shift in how collectors are choosing to access the market. “Evolving tastes within the category, and the growth of certain segments, reflect broader shifts in the collector base,” said Williams, who is leading the sale.”

Take Away #2:
Growing Demand, Rising Prices
“The growing appetite for prints is hard to miss. Last year’s IFPDA Print Fair drew a record 21,000 visitors, a 14 percent increase year over year, with VIP registrations up 57 percent, according to Artnet News reporting. That surge in interest occurs in parallel and likely has had an effect on pricing. When asked whether prints have retained their status as a beginner-friendly category, Williams was measured.”
Take Away #3 :
“All told, what emerges is a need for discernment. “It is often said: buy what you like,” Williams concluded. “This remains sound advice for two reasons. First, you should genuinely enjoy the work—you’ll live with it, look at it, and engage with it every day. Second, though less frequently discussed, is the subject of value. Understanding what value means to you—financial, emotional, aesthetic, or historical—is essential in guiding any acquisition.”

Celebrate the Courage to Shape Your Existence Through Independent Thought
At RBF Gallery, "resting bitch face" isn't about facial expressions—it's an emblem of self-confidence, a symbol of those who possess the audacity to live authentically through independent thinking. It represents the quiet defiance of those who refuse to apologize or seek external permission for their perspectives, experiences, or responses to the world around them.
We are here to inspire you to embrace the knowledge and confidence to transform your life, by utilizing the power of art and mindset as the catalyst to the gateway. With intention and self-awareness you will move beyond your self limiting beliefs that have hindered you from achieving your ideal life. By developing a relationship with art, it will broaden your perspective in life that will lead to the cultivating and refinement of your own style and personality, which will lead you into the dimension of manifesting the life you are entitled to and desire.
By living artfully we expand our perspective to see the possibilities in everything that we focus on in life … and that energy attracts like energy that leads to abundance and fulfillment … but it begins by broadening your perspective and living intentionally
WHAT’s INSIDE MY WORLD
Inspiration surrounds us …
it sits within our subconscious and it is through our open-mindedness and curiosity that we become consciously aware of all the possibilities of the ways we can re-adapt ideas to repurpose them for our own use.
The Young Masters
Do you know a budding young artist that could benefit from learning about the Old Masters? I have created a new website that is focused on helping develop the foundation of young people ages 5-12, based on art history.
Have you ever noticed how your thoughts seem to paint the world around you? There's fascinating science behind this. Our brains are incredibly adaptive – constantly rewiring and reshaping themselves based on where we place our attention.
I discovered this truth long before I knew what to call it. As a dancer in my earlier years, I spent countless hours in mental rehearsal – visualizing each movement, each transition, each emotional beat of a performance before ever stepping on stage. Just like athletes and chess players, dancers understand the power of seeing success in the mind before creating it in physical reality.
