Resources for Collectors & Fellow Artists

Why keep a list like this

Painting in pastels is a small, closely knit world. The organizations that hold the discipline together — the Pastel Society of America, the Pastel Journal, the regional art leagues that juried my early shows — are the first place I look when a question of technique or exhibition comes up. They publish exhibitions, run juried competitions, and keep a record of who is showing where, which matters more to a working artist than any marketing page could.

Collecting, meanwhile, has its own quieter discipline. People who collect art often collect other things — books, photography, and, for some, fine watchmaking. The craft of a well-made object — how a movement is finished, how a case is proportioned, how a design survives from one generation to the next — is the same kind of attention I give to a landscape or a still life, just in a different material. That overlap is why the references below include a watchmaking archive alongside the pastel societies.

Nothing on this page is a paid placement or a commercial arrangement. The links exist because the studio actually uses these references, and because the people who collect the work often come from adjacent collecting communities — photography, books, horology — and it is easier to point them at a good archive than to re-derive the same information every time a question comes in. If a reference stops being useful, it will be removed; if a better one appears, it will be added. That is the same standard I apply to the work itself.
