Art Drop #01

October 22, 2025In All AccessBy Casey Monda6 Minutes

Welcome to the new Art I Saw and Liked, the only subscription-based art advisory service that meets novice collectors where they are–at the starting line. I developed Art I Saw and Liked to make art collecting easy, approachable, accessible and inspiring. There are a lot of art platforms out there that enable folks to see a lot of art online. In my experience, scrolling those can be like drinking out of a fire hose and you can never really trust that what you are seeing is actually good and worth your money.  Art I Saw and Liked is different. Every single piece of art or artist featured on this site has been vetted by me and is something I would buy for myself or recommend to a client. And just like my policy with my private art advisory service, no artist or gallery will ever pay me to be on this site. Just like my clients pay me for the value I add to every acquisition, subscribers to Art I Saw and Liked pay for my eye, judgement, and opinions.

Moreover, Art I Saw and Liked is about empowerment. It empowers the new generation of collectors to hone their taste, develop their own eye, and be confident in what they like. While the art industry is built on relationships and often rewards those who have been around the longest, everyone has to start somewhere. My hope is that AISAL becomes that place to start. After all, that’s the whole premise. Start with what you like.

Here’s what you can expect from AISAL:

The Collection – The Collection is the heart and soul of AISAL. It is a sortable, filterable, and likeable database of the art I have seen and loved. We are launching with several dozen selections from my extensive private database that I have built over the past few years. Each week, I will add to The Collection, so what you see now is just a sniff of what you will get.

Seen & Liked Lately – Seen & Liked Lately is the blog that I’ll publish weekly and send out as a newsletter email. I’ll discuss topics related to the art industry and release the newest additions to The Collection.

-Galleries & Museums Map – Not a lot of explanation is required here. The map is actually a map of galleries and museums around the world that I know and love. I am always adding to it and it updates in real time. This is the tool I wish I had when I started my collecting journey. It is a great place to start if you are travelling and want to see some art.

-Likes/Dislikes – As you are scrolling the database, you will be able to like or dislike any art work. You will be able to see how many others have done the same (but not who has done so!). Then you can go to your Likes list to see everything you have selected. This is a great place to start to see your taste and style in an organic way. 

For me, the most rewarding part of this work is helping clients find pieces that spark joy, tell their story, and create lasting connections with the art they love. I wanted to extend my passion, my knowledge, and my services to a broader audience than I could reach as a one-woman show offering one-to-one art advisory services. AISAL is the result of that desire. Thank you for being here— I hope this platform inspires you to explore, connect, and learn more about yourself as you begin your journey into art collecting.
