Watch me analyze "Cactus Flower" and discover the specific improvements that could transform it from good to gallery-worthy. As an appraiser, I have unique insight into what the market values in contemporary art.

The Challenge

You spend significant effort perfecting a painting, but something's still not right. More contrast? Different colors?

To focus on changes that will move the value needle and significantly enhance market appeal, you need qualified guidance that ranks potential edits.

The Solution

Now you have your own personal fine art appraiser to evaluate your work!

As an appraiser, artist, and programmer, I've created The Artisan's Ascent - a user-friendly technical environment that combines artistic excellence with valuation insight. The crux of the system is my set of 165 questions which analyze your work across the 33 Essential Factors that captivate collectors and gallerists.

The system identifies the best opportunities for refinement, so you'll know where to focus your efforts.
