Artfully Devoted (to You)
Although Valentine’s Day has come and gone, we still have the idea of love and all it entails on our mind. Inspired by these musings and as a small token of our affection, we’ve compiled a range of works from the PhxArt collection that depict devotion in ways big and small. Whether spotlighting commitment to a person, to a family, to a craft, faith, or cause, these paintings, prints, sculptures, and more remind us what it means to give of yourself, fully, unconditionally, and with a heart full of love.
