On Wednesdays, we dive into ART! And this time around, we want to talk about art collecting as an investment in happiness.

Pictured here are a handful of the pieces that sold our first year. They're wonderfully diverse, from style to medium and beyond. Each one spoke to its buyer. Each buyer said to themselves, "My life will be better with this work of art inside it."

One of the hidden benefits of running a gallery is that we get to commune with many of the pieces for weeks or months before they sell. We get to notice more and more about each one - brush strokes, "imperfections," tiny details, breadth of meaning. When you buy a work of art, you get to do that for the rest of your life: commune with it. Take it in. Understand it as deeply as you'd understand your most loved one.

Art breathes, it lives, and it stays with you. It's loyal.

Sometimes, a piece is demanding. Other pieces whisper.

Some pieces enthrall. Others dare you to come closer.

Each artist has an unmistakable eye that shapes everything they create - we all tend to know that. But we should also remember this: each viewer brings the whole of their experience to bear upon each piece of art they regard.

The relationship between you and the art you love cannot be replicated in any way. Your eye, too, unmistakably shapes how the art is received.

What speaks to you? What would you like to commune with daily? What do you want to see in your environment - home, office, business ...? Art collecting is, in our estimation, among the best ways to invest in happiness and on top of that, you get to leave the art to your loved ones, or museum of choice ... supporting artists and the world of art is among the best things you can do as a lover of the arts.

Let us help you take the first step toward investing in your happiness. DM us for an appointment and get the private viewing you deserve.

Commune with your unmistakable vision.

Welcome back Featured Friday! This Friday the spotlight shines on Emily Bharatiya.

Emily's work centers on a subject that most of us would overlook, a subject that almost every person uses daily: Chairs.

Why Chairs? Emily explains, "I think chairs are an evocative metaphor for the human experience. I imagine them as figures or emotions in my work; their arrangements and interactions suggest the architecture of intimacy and the space between us. They symbolize the presence of stillness." She continues by explaining how her fascination with the subject began: "My fascination with this subject evolved during a period of difficult and unsettling personal experiences. It became evident that my artwork was inviting me to sit with my feelings, to be present with myself and the emotions I was experiencing."

While exploring the balance between the abyss of existentialism and the heights of joy, she uses symbolism, whimsical palettes, and patterns to create these thought provoking works. She employs the interplay of light and dramatic shadows to imply the passage of time and the inevitable changes we experience throughout life. Diving deeper she states, "My paintings invite you to reflect on the connections, transitions, and universal stories within our shared human experience."

Emily Bharatiya is one of our current in-house artists. Ready to see more of her work? Reach out to us, Soft Corners, via email mail to: [email protected] or phone 505.355.5711 to schedule a private viewing.

So ... what is Soft Corners anyway? Soft Corners Studio Center is whatever you need it to be!

An art gallery, a library, a place to host those classes you've been wanting to teach but haven't been able to find juuuust the right spot for yet.

A place to hold consultations that is quiet and private and makes your clientele feel right at home.

A third place that de-centers alcohol and centers connection. Nestled in Nob Hill, no matter what the occasion is, we are here to make finding the perfect space one less thing to worry about.

Soft Corners is founded by Sarah E. Azizi who has loved hosting events and building community for as long as she can remember.

Welcome to the Softest Corner. We are thrilled to meet you and host you!
