Support Taj's Atelier Dream: Fine Printing & Preservation

Help an Artist & Business Professional Keep the Art of Craftsmanship Alive!

For over 13 years, I’ve dedicated my life to the fine and performing arts, working in museums, higher education, and creative spaces that value excellence, storytelling, and tradition. From painter to printmaker, photographer to writer, my passion has always been preserving the beauty of fine art and fostering connections between creators and their audiences. Today, I am asking for your help to embark on an exciting new chapter: launching a fine arts giclée printing and photography business that upholds the traditions of expert artisans while embracing modern archival processes.

The Vision: Art That Endures

The tradition of giclée printing isn’t just about reproducing images—it’s about celebrating artistry. Through this venture, I aim to create museum-quality fine art prints, provide professional archival photography services, and preserve the works of artists with care and respect. Whether you’re an emerging painter or an established printmaker, I want this business to be your partner in bringing your creative vision to life.

This business is a studio born from years of hands-on experience as a creator and advocate for the arts. My passion lies in not only producing exceptional prints but also telling each artist’s story, ensuring their work gets the recognition it deserves and lives on for generations.

Where Your Support Comes In

Starting this business requires an investment in high-quality equipment to meet the standards of the art world. That’s where your support comes in. Here’s a breakdown of what your contributions will help fund:

- State-of-the-Art Printing Equipment: Professional-grade, industry standard printers, inks, and fine art papers to ensure unparalleled quality and longevity.

- Archival Photography Gear: Cameras, lighting, and tools to capture artwork with stunning precision and detail.

- Studio Setup: A space to house this dream, designed to create a welcoming and productive environment for artists.

- Initial Operating Costs**: Marketing, outreach, and tools to connect with artists and art lovers everywhere.

My goal is to raise $50,000 to bring this vision to life. Every dollar will go directly into building a business that bridges fine art traditions with modern technology.

Why Back This Project?

With over a decade of experience spanning the fine arts and education, I bring a unique perspective to this business. My work in museums, higher education, and independent teaching taught me the importance of meticulous care and curation. My own practice as a phogographer and printmaker gives me an intimate understanding of an artist’s needs. My passion for writing and storytelling ensures that this project isn’t just about printing—it’s about creating a lasting legacy for artists’ work.

Backing this campaign means you’re supporting a business that’s committed to uplifting the art community, preserving craftsmanship, and fostering creativity supported by quality service. Together, we can create a space where fine art flourishes.

For your generosity, donors will be given the choice to be gifted an exclusive subscription to my Patreon with access to premium content, early access to the premiere merchandise drop with discounts, and a surprise virtual gift t.b.a upon a successful launch.

The arts deserve a space where quality and tradition are celebrated, especially in a time where erasure is far easier than celebrating diverse peoples. With your help, I can make that happen whether you’re an artist, a collector, or someone who believes in the power of creative expression, your support will make this dream a reality.

Thank you for joining me on this journey!
