In the quest for optimal energy in the spaces we occupy, art is an extremely powerful tool. Depending on the medium, theartist, and the work itself, each piece embodies dramatically different energy—energy that can be built upon. My husband and I are avid collectors, with fifteen pieces of fine art in our collection. We tend to gravitate toward pieces that are contemporary and eclectic, however, having traveled the world and lived in several different countries, a piece with a rich cultural background will always speak to us.
