The Man Billionaires Trust With Their Art

Brandon Andres Green, host of Good Neighbor Podcast Tulsa, sits down with Timothy Loutzenhizer of Go Fine Art to talk about what it really takes to move valuable, fragile, and deeply personal artwork across the country.

Timothy shares how Go Fine Art became a trusted name for collectors, artists, designers, celebrities, and high-net-worth clients who need more than a basic moving company. From fourteen cities a week to 80- and 90-hour workweeks, his job is not just transportation. It is responsibility, discretion, patience, and trust.

This conversation also takes us into Timothy’s world as founder of Loudhorse Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico, located on the iconic Canyon Road art district. He explains how his love for art grew through travel, mission work, and relationships with Maasai artists in East Africa, where buying art became a way to support families, fund needs, and give back to the community.

You’ll also hear the biggest mistakes people make when moving valuable pieces: treating fine art like furniture, rushing the process, hiring the wrong help, or assuming “shipping it” is good enough. Timothy explains why high-value art requires planning, protection, and someone who understands what is actually at stake.

If you own, collect, create, sell, or care about fine art, this episode is a reminder to slow down, ask for help, and do it right the first time.

Because some things should never be treated like cargo.

Welcome To The Good Neighbor Podcast

SPEAKER_00 0:00

This is the Good Neighbor Podcast, the place where local businesses and neighbors come together. Here's your host, Brandon Andris Green.

SPEAKER_02 0:13

Welcome to the Good Neighbor Podcast Live. Are you looking for someone you can trust with valuable, fragile artwork? Well, one maybe closer than you think. Today I have the pleasure of introducing your good neighbor, Timothy Lausenheiser. Hey Timothy, how's it going?

SPEAKER_01 0:31

What's up, man? Good to see you.

SPEAKER_02 0:33

Good to see you. So we're excited to learn all about you, GoFindArt, and what it takes to handle and deliver fine art safely. Will

What GoFindArt Actually Does

SPEAKER_02 0:43

you tell us a little bit about GoFindArt and what it takes to do what you do?

SPEAKER_01 0:50

I would say it takes uh determination, right? So I'm I'm traveling across the nation. I do a lot of work uh locally uh in New Mexico, but I I was actually just in Tulsa uh a couple days ago. So about 14 cities a week, um, averaging about 80 to 90 hours a week, moving valuable items for customers that need someone they can trust. Um, you see a lot of people that want to purchase valuable things, but they don't know where to go. Um, sometimes what they'll do is is they say, Man, I want to give this guy a shot, right? And I'm honored to be able to do that. It's uh been doing this since 2013 and 2026 right now.

SPEAKER_02 1:34

So but I but you I understand you also have your own fine art gallery called Loud Horse Gallery, is that correct?

Santa Fe And The Gallery World

SPEAKER_01 1:44

Yeah, I found this back in the car, but this is my gallery, uh Loud Horse Gallery in uh Santa Fe, New Mexico. If you've ever been to Canyon Road, it's like an iconic road. There's a hundred art galleries there on Canyon Road, and then there's a hundred um in the whole Santa Fe area. So the top three uh markets for fine art is New York City, Los Angeles, and Santa Fe. So Santa Fe being, you know, about 100,000 people now, uh, 2026, um, versus the mass quantity of individuals in LA and New York City. It's really iconic for people to come and see because it's been going on for about 40 years. Uh, this surplus of buyers, uh, many, many high-end art collectors come there, purchase, and then over time, what they'll do is they'll say, Man, I just want to live in Santa Fe. It's so much more chill. I don't have to deal with all the cameras in LA. When I go out in public, people aren't bothering me like you would in New York or LA. So a lot of people come there to chill. Um, so yeah, it's kind of uh wonderful experience being out there.

SPEAKER_02 2:52

Yeah, it sounds wonderful. So, how'd you even get into handling fine art and just even have your own gallery in the first place?

SPEAKER_01 3:02

So

The Africa Story Behind The Work

SPEAKER_01 3:03

um 2013, I was doing uh a lot of healing work in the tribes and the Maasai tribes. So I lived in East Africa. Um, and before that, like I'd bring home little things from India, Costa Rica, Ireland, Scotland, wherever I was traveling to. Uh it's always cool to bring something home to have a memory. Um, so eventually it was like I was in the Maasai tribes in Africa, and all the artists were coming up with everything they created, and they were like, Will you support us? And I said, Yeah, I support you. That's why I you know flew over here by myself, you know. Like, of course, I'm here to pray with you, to be there for you, to counsel you. There's a lot of terrorism that was happening. So a lot of the homes were being burnt down. It's all like stick and mud, etc., etc. Right. Really simple living. So what ended up happening was they brought all these wooden sculptures and paintings from like natural pigments of the earth, right? And and I was like, man, I want to help this community with water wells. Well, the thing was that they said, why don't you just like buy some art from us? So I gave them fair trade. You know, I purchased all the art they wanted, maybe a more than they had expected, just to bless them. And then I'd bring that art back to America. So I would transport from East Africa to America whenever I would go out there and live with the Maasai, and then I would sell the art and give 100% of the proceeds back to the tribe.

SPEAKER_02 4:36

Wow. What a story.

Myths About Fine Art Transport

SPEAKER_02 4:41

What's a common misconception people have about um the fine art luxury industry and transporting these goods?

SPEAKER_01 4:51

Um, number one, that it's easy. Number two, that I'm a truck driver. And number number three, that that we're a freight business. So there's a few different things uh that I feel comfortable sharing, but one of those things is that when people have really valuable items, you know, you don't call UPS, FedEx, you don't call your neighbor. Um I'm just being blunt here with you, but a lot of times you get people that are close to you that envy what you have or they have familiarity, they don't appreciate you or your things after a while, right? So that being said, you know, we've had zero claims, um, zero damages um since 2013 with anybody's valuable items. And so pretty happy about that. I would only give credit to Christ for that because when I'm praying in the Holy Spirit, it's like all of a sudden I'll be in Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Ufa, I'll be in Dallas, Austin, Houston. And I left Santa Fe that morning. So I will be able to like kind of transport through prayer, and and that's how I do this is prayer. I give all the credit and glory to God um as far as the determination to continue doing what I'm doing.

SPEAKER_02 6:17

Amen.

Building Trust With High-End Clients

SPEAKER_02 6:18

So who do you find yourself helping most? Is it other artists, collectors, designers, or just families that really care about their pieces?

SPEAKER_01 6:31

Lately, I've opened up my heart to anyone that is willing to do this, you know, like the that's willing to trust. Um but I it got to a point where it was mainly celebrities and billionaires and multimillionaires. So just people that just didn't have a circle of trust. And there's a big difference between trusting somebody with your personal items and trusting somebody, you know, in business, right? Like an employee, right? It's like I can trust you to come into work and we can do business together. But when somebody's coming in the comfort of your own home and they want to eat with you, they want to meet you, they want the relationship, it takes, you know, time, but it also takes like trust is like it's built, you know. So it's like, how do you develop trust before somebody gets there? I don't know. I mean, it's wild, but people trust me with their valuable things, and I just come with the heart to serve.

SPEAKER_02 7:35

I mean, how are these people finding you?

SPEAKER_01 7:39

Every single platform possible. So I give estimates um through like Square platform. Um, people email me, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, text, call, every single way you can imagine. I mean, I I have a hard time even picking up my phone just to look at the weather because I've got, you know, 10 miss calls and four miss test text messages, and then I'm like on a text message and I'm getting a call while I'm texting, and then I'll get another call while I'm on that call and texting. And so I'm really just keeping it low-key. I'm trying to take that organic, that organic route of being genuine, right? So if you're genuine, I feel like God will multiply what you have, your resources. If you come with a pitch everywhere you go, it's almost like that you're limited. So I'm into the unlimited refills of the unlimited resources.

SPEAKER_02 8:35

Hey man, good word. Southside work, soutside work, Timothy. What do

Dirt Bikes And Sound Therapy

SPEAKER_02 8:40

you do for fun?

SPEAKER_01 8:42

Oh, I haven't thought about fun in a long time. No, I'm for fun. No, I mean I've got a dirt bike, so I like to ride. I like to ride, you know. I like to I mean, I go to the PCH like every three weeks. So I I cover from San Diego up north of San Francisco. I go out on the PCH, I just chill. I just look over the ocean in Carmel and Big City, and I just chill, man.

SPEAKER_02 9:09

And are you also an artist? Do you produce music?

SPEAKER_01 9:13

Yeah, yeah. So like I was doing documentary stuff, low-key, and and you know, then I was writing stuff. Uh a few of the things got on the radio, so that was kind of neat. And you know, from time to time I'll I'll get back to that, but I do like like I do like to give sound therapy. So I have a sound therapy room in my house, and so I'll have artists that come in that have been through a lot of trauma, they're painting from trauma, and I'd like for them to paint with coming from a healed heart, you know, not just like this is my expression. It's like, no, I want it to be an expression of joy or love or peace, not pain or suffering as much because people feel that when they walk into their house. So, you know, I used to do a lot of cleansings on people's houses overseas. You come in and you just start, you know, wiping away the junk, right? And so that being said, uh I'm all about the cleansing, the purity of bringing in good art, good energy, and um, and sometimes people need a little bit of sound therapy to knock out that that trauma, right? So I I I study a lot of therapy is my is my hobby and also my education.

SPEAKER_02 10:28

So, Timothy,

The Rule For Moving Valuables

SPEAKER_02 10:29

what's one thing you want our listeners to remember before they try to move valuable or fragile artwork on their own?

SPEAKER_01 10:43

Take your time. Anything valuable didn't come in one day. So it's not gonna be moved from point A to point B or C or D in 10 minutes, you know. I think a lot of people get stressed out. They're like, they look at the big things, they look at the couches, they look at the furniture, they're like, you know, I gotta get this stuff out, I gotta get this stuff ready. And then all of a sudden when it comes to their jewelry or their diamonds or things like that, right? Or their fine art, they're like, I think I just forgot about it, right? So I would say if you need help, call. Like it, you know, it's a humbling experience to realize that you need help and to ask for help. So that's something as I'm growing older, I'm 34 now, been doing this since 2013. You know, have an art gallery. It's like it's cool, you know. I'm grateful for it. I just think you have to appreciate what you have and realize, you know, where you came from and how long it took to have those valuable things. So that being said, you know, do do it right the first time. That's my model.

SPEAKER_02 11:48

Amen. So,

Canyon Road being like the art district in Santa Fe. If you Google or ask Alexa or Echo or something, like what should I do when I'm in Santa Fe? They're gonna tell you go to Canyon Road, right?
