Hi there! We are M&M – owners of this site and bloggers for the last year. We met each 9 years ago (in 1999) in a city card and book shop. We were both shopping for birthday cards at the time. Our eyes met, we smiled and in less than 24 hours, we had our first dinner date. Our initial dating relationship had our twist and turns, but in 2000, we reunited and this time it stuck. We exchanged our vows and rings in 2004.
We moved in together in 2001 and that is when Marc introduced me to his small collection of Van Eno’s art. We hung up his one favorite piece “Only Her Hairdresser Knows” in our living room – and still to this day, it graces the wall of our living room (we bought a new home together last year in 2007 – and right away, we knew where to hang this one painting).
I began to appreciate Van’s art as I got to learn about the man behind the paintings. The stories Marc had shared with me about his years down in Key West and meeting the artist. It was fascinating to hear about the apartment Marc lived in that was formerly occupied by the Artist himself.
Together, Marc and I started this website in hopes to connect and communicate with other collectors and fans of Van Eno. I hope this site will make Van proud!
