Over the past few years, the art world has changed — dramatically.
And as someone who is both a self-taught artist and a business-minded strategist, I’ve learned that thriving in this industry means not just creating work I believe in, but also adapting to the times.
This isn’t just a change. It’s an evolution — and one I’m excited to share with you.
The Art World Today: What’s Really Going On?

If you’ve been paying attention, you’ve probably felt it too: the art market has softened.
Sales volumes are down. AI has disrupted how we value creativity. Tariffs and rising costs are making everything — materials, shipping, even frames — more expensive.
And as often happens in times of uncertainty, many have pulled back from collecting, treating art as a luxury to postpone “for later.”
But here’s the truth: in moments like this, art becomes even more important.
It helps us process what’s happening.
It brings beauty and meaning into the chaos.
It reminds us that we are more than just consumers of bad news — we are creators, dreamers, and curators of our own spaces.
Why I’m Offering Limited Edition Prints
With all of this in mind, I’ve decided to make my work more accessible without compromising on quality or vision.
My new limited edition print shop offers thoughtfully-produced, signed, and numbered prints of my work — pieces that preserve the spirit of the originals while opening the door to more collectors to experience them.
This isn’t about stepping back from original art. It’s about making sure that my art isn’t locked away in a storage unit waiting for “the right buyer,” but rather living in the world where it can do what it’s meant to do — move people.
It’s also about holding collectors — and the art world — accountable to what they say they value: beauty, culture, meaning, connection.
We need art now more than ever, and here’s an opportunity to make sure it doesn’t get abandoned.
What This Means for You
If you’ve collected my originals before: thank you for believing in me and investing in the uniqueness of my work. Originals will still be created and made available for sale, but they will be even more intentional and rare.
If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to bring my work into your home: this is it.
These limited editions are priced to make my work more attainable, while still maintaining the integrity of the originals.
You don’t have to wait anymore. You don’t have to retreat from beauty.
You can step back into your role as a collector, a curator of your own life, and bring something meaningful into your space — today.

A Quick Personal Update
Many of you know I planned to move to Thailand this year, to immerse myself in a new culture and take my practice abroad. But between visa complications and the current state of the world, that move is on hold for now.
In the meantime, I’m here — grounded, focused, and pouring myself into this next chapter of my creative journey.
