My Art Collectibles

Starting a fine art, collectibles and gifts website was a major milestone for this ex-corporate warrior. Cherish Collectibles features fine art by award-winning American artist Edna Hibel, as well as fine art collectables like collector plates and dolls. It's been both fun and frustrating, growing a business while battling Goliaths. Jesus is with me, and He will not let me fall.

Document Your Art & Art Collectibles

Document Your Art & Art Collectibles


I get numerous enquiries from people asking about the history and value of Edna Hibel art and art collectibles which they have inherited. Obviously, too many art collectors are not disciplined enough to keep the proper documentation with their artworks and art collectibles. Sadly, because of this, the people who inherit these art pieces often junk them, not being aware of their value.

Every piece of information which accompanies an artwork or art collectible increases its value. Receipts, related gallery programmes, photographs, news clippings, and any other related documents should always be organised and kept where they can be easily found. Did you know that such documents can even have value themselves, in time to come? Think of the Titanic.

Be a smart and responsible art collector. Document your artworks and art collectibles.
