No matter the season, don’t forget to bring something lasting into your life. (Whether it’s visual, musical, written, or handmade).

Just browsing an online art gallery can be a treat. You'll find “Welcome to Beautiful Downtown Talkeetna” there.

Pumpkins come and go. Leaves fall. But art sticks with you.

This season, don’t forget to bring something lasting into your life. (visual, musical, written, or handmade).

With rich purple hues and delicate ruffled texture, this iris seems to almost leap off the print. Yellow accents in the center draw your eye into the depths of the bloom. This purple Iris grows well in home gardens in photographer Tim Boese's home state, Alaska.

Alaska Community Rooted in New Deal History

Palmer, Alaska was founded by a New Deal program to resettle and provide relief to Midwestern farmers in the Great Depression. Now deep in a red state, several hundred Alaska progressives reach out in a powerful “No Kings” protest.

"Call to Action: Think While It Is Still Legal"

"Think While It Is Still Legal" is a powerful statement that emphasizes critical thinking and community engagement. It reminds us to question the status quo, making it a thought-provoking addition to any space.

Sometimes ordinary people are intimidated by art, even when it reaches out and speaks to them.

But you don't need a special occasion to love something. No reason required! ;-)

If that turns out to be “Uphill Fields in France” all the better.

I just love hearing how and why people connect with certain works.

Sometimes it’s a memory, sometimes it’s a mood, sometimes it’s community outrage at the treatment of children.

Today's Art: “Families Belong Together”

Sometimes we wait for the “right moment” to enjoy art: a gift, a new home, a special milestone.

But here’s your permission to love something just because it speaks to you.

If that turns out to be “Streak of Sunlight” all the better.

No reason required.

One of my favorite parts of this job is hearing why people connect with certain works.

Sometimes it’s a memory, sometimes it’s a mood, sometimes it’s just a horrible politician!

I’d love to know what drew you in.

This artwork captures the spirit of protest and the power of expression with a bold message: "TRUMP is NOT the Second Coming of CHRIST." It challenges political narratives through humor and conviction, making it a perfect piece for those who value activism and expression. This art is a thought-provoking conversation-starter. Perfect to keep activist organizations motivated, and for those who appreciate art that not only decorates but also inspires.

With its thick, golden fur and commanding presence, this grizzly bear reflects the raw beauty of nature, perfect for any space that celebrates wild things and the power of apex predators in the animal kingdom. Set against a backdrop of greens and earth tones, this piece invites you to appreciate the untamed spirit of nature.

Art is one of the few things that asks you to pause in a world of sensory overload.

But sometimes it means “A Sprint at the Start!”

Whether you are standing & cheering or taking off at the start (like at the recent NYC Marathon!), it's the pause that refreshes!

The raw energy of a race's beginning, released by the starter pistol. Nothing like it. High contrast sets off in stark relief the determination on each runner's face, while the blurred background shows the rush of speed and adrenaline. This high contrast piece highlights athletes as they launch into action, capturing the thrill of the race. This image in your space is a powerful reminder of ambition and pursuit, driving energy and inspiration.
