PINKIE PROMISE — Story Emotionalism

18×24inches Acrylic paint on Canvas Collection; NOTION OF IMPERMANENCE 2019.
The childlike act of Pinkie Promises is a physical connection with another that builds,in essence a legitimate foundation of trust..
PINKIE PROMISE was born from a meditation on the invisible threads that bind us to one another..promises made in moments of tenderness, trust and vulnerability, and carried long after the moment itself has passed. Within the layered faces, intertwined hands and curled fingers, the painting holds several stories at once: the promise we make to another, the memories we carry within ourselves, and the quiet conversation between past and present.
I used the blue and ochre landscape to become almost dreamlike, suggesting a world continuing to move around us while, internally, time can stand still.
This is where Story Emotionalism lives..in the belief that a painting is not simply an image but a vessel for memory, emotion, and human connection.A tiny gesture can contain an entire lifetime. A pinkie promise may last only a second, yet its emotional story can remain with us forever. Some promises are never spoken twice...They simply live and become part of us and the path and purpose of our lives.

PINKIE PROMISE

A little finger, curled with care,
A whispered vow hangs softly there.
So small the gesture, sweet and true,
Yet worlds can turn on what we do.

Trust is born where truth is shown,
In seeds we plant, in hearts we’ve known.
It grows through time, through joy and pain,
Through loss and love, through sun and rain.

Some bonds are threads we can not see,
Yet stretch through time and memory.
They wind through all we’ve said and done,
Through days we’ve lost and days we’ve won.

And when the darker hours descend,
Old ghosts return, old stories bend.
Across the mind, their shadows glide,
The ones we loved, the ones inside.

Outside, the city blazes bright,
A thousand voices fill the night.
The streets may roar, the crowds may call,
Yet inner echoes drown them all.

For silence has a sound of its own,
A distant voice, a familiar tone.
Behind closed eyes, the past appears..
A map of love, a river of years.👁👇

Just spend an amazing 15-day liveaboard on the Seahunter at Cocos Island National Park 🏞️ with a great group of people. This is a longer trip with a full 10 dive days instead of 7 (takes 36hrs transit each way).

The multitalented & entertaining Juan Manuel is our CD once again (yay), plus we had one of the owners with us (his other gig is his UW deep sea sub that’s contracted with Nat Geo Pristine Seas). My 2 favorite dive buddies Ladonna & Weng were both onboard.

Luckily 🍀, we had 1/2 trip of sunny weather (usual rainy/cloudy/windy around this time ). But unfortunately, it’s an El Niño yr, so the water is ~28-29°C (regular 24-25°C) unless thermaclines. That’s too warm, so sharks 🦈 & big stuff go deeper for colder water & tl;dr.

Yet, thanks to the expertise of the Undersea hunter crew & dive team, we were still able to see everything expected & unexpected. Schools of Hammerhead Sharks 🦈 , endless swirls of Jacks & snappers, shark 🦈 cleaning 🧼 stations 🚉 (< active than usual), Eagle Rays, Oceanic Manta, piles of Marbled Rays (⏬deeper), Galapagos Sharks 🦈 (deeper), Silvertip Sharks (< fewer), Blacktip Reef Shark 🦈 (new addition in recent yrs!), whitetip Reef sharks 🦈; some endemic smaller stuff - barnacle blennies, fanged blennies; behaviors - endemic triggers nesting & chasing/mating; bottlenose dolphins 🐬 above & below; brown boobies 🐦 & waterfalls & cloud forests.

Overall it was an excellent trip with some great company from Europe & NYC. The marine diversity here is incredible, diving here is not for the uninitiated, but the experience is unique & worthwhile. I won’t call the trip exceptional, but it was worth the travel & the expense.

In this episode, we are welcomed into the New York home of Carole Server and her husband, Oliver. Carole is a retired Wall Street executive. She’s a Trustee at Fountainhead, serves as Chair of the Board of Rema Hort Mann Fund and recently researched and launched The Artist Living With Cancer Grant.

Carole and Oliver have been building their current art collection for the past 15-16 years. While the collection includes video and photography, its true focus is on painting and sculpture, with a particular passion for painting. Over the past five years, they have concentrated primarily on acquiring works by mid-career artists.
Today, their collection comprises more than 800 works. They buy art they genuinely love and want to live with, which is why they reinstall and rehang their home approximately once a year, allowing the collection to evolve alongside them.

More than 50% of the artists in their collection are women, and around 35% are artists of color. This was never a deliberate collecting strategy - it simply reflects the artists and works they were naturally drawn to.

For Carole and Oliver, building personal relationships with artists is an essential part of collecting. They regularly visit artists' studios, and around 95% of the artists in their collection are people they have met through studio visits.

They also believe that collecting comes with a responsibility to support artists beyond acquiring their work. They frequently open their home for collection visits and generously lend works to museum exhibitions around the world, seeing it as an important way to share the artists they believe in with a broader audience.
Join us for a heartfelt and fascinating conversation.

Wells Group was honored to host a brunch celebrating our friend and client, @mickalenethomas, and her exciting new partnership with @jackshainman.

Mickalene is one of the pioneering artists reshaping the canon, expanding how beauty, identity, power, and womanhood are represented in contemporary art.

Jack has long been at the forefront of championing diverse narratives, among the first major gallerists to build a program around voices and perspectives too often excluded from the traditional art world.

It was a privilege to gather in community and toast a partnership between two forces who have each changed the cultural landscape in profound ways. We cannot wait to see what comes next.

All of these paintings are created by internationally award-winning artist Taylor Wilshire, whose work has been exhibited around the world.
True luxury isn’t acquired—it is curated. Museum-grade fine art is more than an acquisition; it is a legacy. Rare, significant works transcend trends, holding both cultural and enduring value for generations to come.

Rare. Timeless. Exceptional.

This weekend was a reminder that the Hamptons, at its best, is not just a place of escape. It is a place of gathering.

At Guild Hall in East Hampton, Arcmanoro Niles’s Forgotten Words I Never Got To Say gives emotional interiority real scale: color, glitter, memory, and the charged silence of things left unsaid. Manni and I were grateful to host a celebration of the show with Carla Camacho and Lehmann Maupin, an evening that felt, appropriately, like family around an artist whose work is so deeply rooted in intimacy.

At the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill, Sanford Biggers’s Drift moves with a different force: clouds, quilts, history, spirit, and the unseen currents that shape culture over time. As collectors, Manni and I believe it is important not only to collect the work we love, but to patronize the institutions and exhibitions that give that work room to breathe. We were proud to support Sanford’s show as major sponsors and celebrate it with him, his beautiful family, and the broader Parrish community.

Two artists. Two institutions. One weekend full of art, friendship, family, and the kind of cultural energy that makes the East End feel larger than itself.

The crucifixion... my new piece.. you can see the detailing of the crown of thorns in the middle of the cross this shows the ultimate sacrifice and triumph of Christ, you can also see the red bird detail it's like a phoenix rising out from the cloud of darkness showing the pain and suffering Christ went through, the sacrifice he made for our sake..the dark side on the left it shows the dark times Christ went through before his crucifixion, you can also see the two white doves on both sides which is the sign of the presence of the Holy Spirit in the middle of chaos you can also see the detailing of the golden sunrise rays showing you the presence of God Almighty concretely standing by his beloved son. The left part of this piece is the suffering and death of Christ leading into the right part a portal of Christ resurrection departing earth to receive his father in heaven.."it is finished he said" .. the purple bird detail
meaning royalty Christ is King!!! The green bird detail meaning the eternal life and resurrection, the detail of the golden fish with orange and light blue vein colors details the golden koi fish is also screaming Glory!!!!
This is life refusing to die... peace in the mist of warfare the heavy display of the Pentecost on the golden koi fish swimming through tongues of fire..you also can see the little 3 fishes representing the father, the son and the Holy ghost swimming in between the cross.. the detailing of the cross is like an aquarium meaning death can't hold what's alive!!!!! You can also see the paper boat detailing showing the sign of faith and you can also see the detailings of paper birds this is the definition of letting go and letting God Almighty take the driver seat of your life.. you can also see the church like window passage for worship you can see the rose detailing meaning peace for me and you can also see the XL detail meaning 40 in Roman numerals represents the 40days and nights Christ fasted..... love to play abit of hide and seek with my works.. #artcollector #abstractart #artcurator
