I am an avid collector. I see collecting as temporary stewardship and believe it is important to provide public access to private collections. This page delves into some of my collecting interests. Please direct any questions about the collections to my email at photocoffey@gmail.com.

Charlie P. Coffey Collection of Visual Art

Begun in 2016, this collection includes more than 200 works of art. It is largely composed of photographs and works on paper, although other mediums are represented in the collection. Some of my collecting interests include art from Iowa, historic photographic processes, modern & contemporary works on paper, and art from Puerto Rico. I keep digital vertical files on most artists in the collection that include clippings and background information.
