"After collecting art for 40 years, I decided it would be nice to share my collection with others who enjoy contemporary art. Most of the collection consists of paintings by artists I have met in California.

"As far as provenance, my collection consists mostly of art I have purchased from the artists directly. The other pieces are from galleries, auctions, or estate sales."
