Art for the Families We Build

Meaningful art selections redolent of heart and home

Dec 24, 2025

Good morning and warm wishes this week! I love the holidays when we get to sign offline, slow down, and celebrate time spent with friends and family. Those moments are actually similar to living with and collecting art: the act of slowing down, creating space for thought, and appreciating what unfolds over time.

One of my family’s holiday traditions is Chinese food on Christmas Eve. My maternal grandmother was from Hong Kong, and when she visited during the holidays, we knew the entire Christmas Eve day would be spent in the kitchen cooking and preparing a colossal Chinese food feast for that evening. The memory of those days was more about the time spent together in the kitchen than the actual meal itself.

Just as we build a contemporary art collection, we also build our families through intention. Who we choose to spend time with. Who we make room for. Who we continue to support and grow alongside. Family can be defined so many different ways, but for me, family is made up of the people who mean the most to you. They are the humans you want to spend your time with and hold dear to your heart.

I hope today’s emerging art selections resonate close to your heart, and that you enjoy the holidays spent with loved ones. I’m grateful for all my subscribers. Beginning in January, this newsletter will be for paid subscribers with one free issue each month. Enjoy!
