One of the best lessons we ever learned was to take advantage of the expertise of friends. It’s a surefire way to exponentially expand your awareness and perspective.

We’ve always loved our dear friend, former Sotheby’s Senior VP and art advisor Jill Smith Handy’s aesthetic yet critical eye, appreciation of context, and graceful curation so much that we decided to dedicate a section on this site to some of her notable selects alongside a little context with the hope that this bite-sized form of inspiration invites us all to be a little more curious, a little more contemplative, and maybe even a little more peaceful.
