Our hearts and our prayers go out to everyone who has been affected by the recent natural disasters - hurricanes, storms and wildfires. Our own son lost everything, and nearly his life, in a house fire 15 years ago. We've seen first hand how devastating it is emotionally, physically and financially when disaster strikes. We also saw how important it is to have your belongings documented for the insurance company when you file a claim. This article has good advice as to how to be proactive in documenting and insuring your art collection and other personal treasures.

Don and I have made a video of our entire home and our belongings, as well as my gallery and studio and keep it in a safe deposit box. We also have a separate personal articles insurance policy which covers things our homeowners policy doesn't cover. It's a good idea to check with your insurance agent to make sure you are covered adequately and are prepared just in case.
