From Portfolio to eMagazine

 

Letter from the Studio

I Am Janel—Not Just a Portfolio, But a Magazine of Ideas

Welcome. This is where my art—and my thoughts—meet yours.

Having a portfolio felt too small. Here, instead of simply displaying work, I’m sharing perspectives on art’s power to shape our homes, our communities, and our future. Yes, you’ll find my latest creations on these virtual pages—but you’ll also find commentary on the art world, strategies for collectors, and practical tips for every space where art belongs.

Why a magazine?

• To educate: I’ll explain why artists should consider minting their work on the blockchain, to secure its authenticity, guarantee royalties for generations, and ensure artists—and their families—truly benefit from every sale.
• To advocate: Every piece you collect fuels an artist’s next breakthrough. Here, you’ll learn how to support creators so that more bold, thought-provoking art can flourish.
• To inspire: Whether you’re an architect exploring “designer brick,” an interior stylist aiming for a room that breathes, or a collector seeking your next discovery, these pages are for you.
• To connect: I’ll share behind-the-scenes Notes & Reflections, thematic essays on Truth in Plain Sight, Earth & Inspiration, and Future Frameworks—showing how art intersects with everything we build, live, and dream.

Most of the art you see here is mine—digital originals and NFTs that live on the blockchain forever. But the ideas behind each issue will come from many places: my studio practice, conversations with collectors, and the larger currents of our creative community.

I’ve turned my portfolio into an evolving magazine because I have plenty to say—about art, ecology, economy, and culture—and I want you to hear it as clearly as you see the colors. Thank you for joining me on this journey. Let’s learn, build, and collect art that matters together.

Thanks for listening — Janel.
