Preserving an artist's legacy

Roz wanted help preserving her body of artwork, the stories behind it, and the creative voice that connects them. We worked closely with her creative direction to build a platform that treats the collection as an ongoing body of work, not a stack of disconnected pages.

The collection stays in view

ArtStory brings the artwork, year navigation, and story panel together in one public experience. Visitors can move through the collection visually, place the work in time, and read the story that gives each piece context without leaving the same experience.

Publishing built around the work

Behind the public collection is a custom CMS shaped around the way Roz publishes. It gives her tailored ways to connect artworks and stories, along with the structured details needed to manage each piece, instead of asking her work to conform to an out-of-the-box provider.
