What is Cascade Moderne
I have been interested in collecting things as long as I can remember. I began my "art" collection with collectible cards, but my first real purchase was at 15 when I purchased a animation cel of Trunks from Dragon Ball Z. Later, I expanded my collection into new series and other art genres as I learned more about art history. I purchased my first ukiyo-e print for 5,000 yen at a flea market while studying abroad in Kyoto, Japan. In my years working at an auction house in Seattle, I was able to learn a lot more about the art market and came to better appreciate the diversity of American art. Cascade Moderne is meant to be a display of my collection and also (eventually) a resource for people interested in Northwest, Japanese and other fine art collecting.
