His belief is that if you help any artist whether they are a new artist or artist from the past, by discovering their art works, studying the artist and the art they create, and marketing them and their artworks to collectors, museums and galleries, you help promote Human accomplishment and creative ideas. And in this process you create knowledge for the future world that we were here, and we mattered. I created The Art Signature File for my personal use, and to help the average person to be able to briefly determine what their art is worth, as many people were simply throwing out art they did not like. Many people have mailed me letters thanking me for producing this book as they discovered many works of art.
