In the midst of 2020—a pivotal moment in history—an invitation was extended to the city’s leaders. This collection is the result: a portfolio of the 69 individuals who were brave enough to participate, created not to document the crisis, but to capture their quiet dignity and steady resilience.

An Act of Foresight in a
Decade of Disruption

This collection was the result of a conviction forged over a decade, a contrarian bet on traditional craftsmanship made when the art world favored other trends. The Notable People Collection was a direct expression of this philosophy, created to document leadership with timeless gravitas long before the global market’s “Great Correction” made such work fashionable again.

The Opportunity –
An Act of Civic & Political Stewardship

For a visionary patron, acquiring this portfolio is a turnkey act of civic stewardship. This is the political and social “win”: the opportunity to purchase the collection and donate it to a worthy local institution—a university, a museum, a new civic building—thereby creating a permanent, celebrated legacy for the community. This act creates a powerful “Win-Win-Win”: the patron is celebrated, the city gains a priceless piece of its history, and the artist is capitalized for future work.
