Vita Brevis, Ars Longa
-Hippocrates
(Life is Short, Art is Forever)
Vita Brevis Fine Art is more than just a family-owned business; it's a labor of love, creativity, and unwavering commitment to preserving life's most precious moments. Founded and operated by the dynamic trio of husband and wife, Jay and Kristi, alongside Kristi's brother, Keith, Vita Brevis Fine Art is a testament to the enduring power of photography and the profound impact it can have on our lives.
In 2008, Kristi embarked on a journey to capture the essence of life's fleeting beauty. Armed with her camera, an innate eye for detail, and a B.A. in photojournalism, Kristi's remarkable talent swiftly gained recognition, making her a sought-after photographer in her own right.
As the years unfolded, the demand for their artistic vision grew exponentially. Recognizing the need to evolve and expand, the family rebranded themselves as Vita Brevis Fine Art in 2019. The name itself, meaning "Art is long, Life is short," reflects their core belief that art transcends mere ink on paper; it is a profound medium capable of encapsulating the beauty and brevity of life itself.
At Vita Brevis Fine Art, we understand that life's moments are brief, but the emotions and memories they hold can last for generations.
