We often hear that the arts are a luxury, something extra or non-essential. But in reality, the creative economy is one of the most powerful engines we have for building belonging, identity, and emotional resilience. Art doesn't just enhance our spaces. It shapes the way we see ourselves and the world around us.

Artists are not side hustlers or content creators. We are culture keepers. We carry stories, preserve memory, and push collective imagination forward. And when someone chooses to collect original work, they are doing more than making a purchase. They are participating in that process of preservation and belief.

As an artist working exclusively with analog film and historic printing techniques, I create images that are slow, intentional, and rooted in physical craftsmanship. Every piece is printed by hand using traditional processes like platinum palladium and silver gelatin. These works are made to last and to live with.

Collecting analog work is not about nostalgia. It is about choosing presence in an increasingly digital world. It is about honoring the weight of human experience and supporting the survival of art forms that carry deep personal and cultural significance.

Whether you are new to collecting or have a growing collection, I believe art can offer a space for meaning, reflection, and lasting value.
