ᴀ ɴᴇᴡ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ — ᴊᴏɪɴɪɴɢ ᴠᴇʀꜱᴇ Over the years, I’ve worn many hats in the art world: artist, non-profit director, curator, publisher, gallerist, and advisor to collectors and institutions. Though photography has been a throughline in much of that work, my interest in contemporary art more broadly reaches far and wide, continually pulling me toward practices that stretch perception and redefine possibility. While I’ve always been drawn to physical art – painting, mixed-media, artist books, etc. – my curiosity for digital art runs just as deep, and I've long been fascinated by the evolving ways we create and engage with art. Digital art has an unexpected tactility. Even when encountered on a screen or in ephemeral gallery installations, it often carries a material presence that’s hard to explain, yet deeply felt. That sense only intensified after 2020, when I became immersed in the world of web3, and blockchain’s implications for visual art really clicked (digital authenticity, ownership, provenance). New ways to make and to be a part of art also emerged during this time. Since then, I’ve been continually challenged and inspired by this new generation of artists, like witnessing a sort of on-chain Renaissance. Naturally, I started collecting and participating when and where I could, and my perspective and appreciation have only expanded and grown. As the space has evolved over this time, so too has a clear need: a dedicated, art-focused home for digital art, one that serves both seasoned collectors and the newly curious, cutting through noise with clarity and care. Most big platforms have drifted away from this vision, where the art itself can feel like an afterthought. verse has always stood out to me with a quiet confidence and a deep commitment to a more intentional, curated, artist and collector-centered approach that continues to resonate. Over the past year, I’ve naturally gravitated to using the platform more often – first, for discovering artists through gallery releases, and more recently through the thoughtful rollout of the beta secondary marketplace (the dedicated artist portfolios and organized gallery programs are a total game changer!). There is something here that not just works, but feels necessary. Which is why I’m thrilled to share that I will be joining verse to help to shape what comes next. I’ll be leading various secondary market efforts, including auctions and art advisory, as well as contributing ideas to help refine the product and collector experience as Verse grows into THE platform for digital art. The team is full of some of the hardest-working and most passionate people in the space, and there’s a commitment to preserving a focus on art while always buzzing with the possibility of what else can be built. It’s infectious. There are too many exciting things in the roadmap and I can’t spill those (yet). But, what’s coming? Chef’s kiss. One thing I can share today is that we’re kicking things off with something very special: an upcoming secondary market auction bringing together exceptional works from across the ecosystem. Some of you are already aware, or maybe heard about it on the Verse podcast. I’d love to hear from you (DMs are open), so please feel free to reach out if you’re thinking of parting with a piece or seeking something specific at the moment. This auction will be a celebration of where digital art is today and where it’s headed – with no eye-watering buyer’s premiums and collector-friendly terms that actually make more sense for web3. It’s truly by and for the community. Learn more below ↓
