Art Collectors
Prints
I personally assist individual collectors and institutional art buyers who are interested in acquiring original photographic works and video installations.
I oversee the making of each limited-edition print myself. Collector gelatin silver prints from my Blue Sky Days and Lines and Lineage series are made exclusively with an analogue enlarger from large-format negatives.
Additional information on shows and collections can be found on my Artsy profile.
