READER TESTIMONIALS

  • "I’m a life long lover of crystals. I grew up in Denver, Colorado where sometimes you’d find ”Mica” on the side of the road. And maybe it started there. As I’ve traveled the world with my music career, I’ve been able to see SO MANY DIFFERENT crystals. Tatiana’s gallery … I’ve never seen or more importantly FELT, anything like that. On the occasion that I’ve been able to spend solo time alone in the gallery 6 hours passed like it was nothing. These incredible photographs, capture a focused and close up view of the diversity and rarity and BEAUTY of the Dorow Collection. I’m honored to have visited this space, and the book .. I pray it carries the healing energy of this gallery into the hands of every reader."

    India Arie, singer and songwriter

  • “Crystals have been a part of my life and my family’s journey for a long time now. I’ve seen all that the mineral world has to offer and The Dorow Collection left me in awe. This book allows me to reconnect with that energy and experience from afar. It’s a very beautiful book.”

    Spencer Pratt, Producer, Actor, and Owner of Pratt Daddy

  • “Arquivistas compelling visuals demonstrate the power and beauty of nature. The photography lends itself to a larger conversation within the realms of naturalism and fine art. The harmonious play of light, color and composition tells a story of “Lokahi”—a Hawaiian term that reminds us to live in unity with the world around us.”

    Jeff Stone, Founder of The Resort Group

  • “Arquivistas elevates the conventional use of crystals in interior design by seamlessly blending photography and nature, offering a distinctive and irreplicable presentation. This book finds a cherished place of display in my home alongside showcased crystals for guests to experience.”

    Allan Fanucchi, Attorney at Razi Law

  • "I've known and admired Tati for decades. Her unwavering commitment to delivering high-quality work has continued to grow over the years. I know The Dorow Collection gallery well. And so I was impressed to see that the images captured in Arquivistas beautifully showcase pieces from the collection in exquisite detail, comparable to the real-life gallery experience. Arquivistas is by far the most unique and high quality book I have ever seen."

  • “Arquivistas transcends the realm of mere literature; it's an immersive journey. I secured my copy during the pre-sale phase, eagerly anticipating its arrival. To my delight, it not only met but surpassed my expectations. The craftsmanship is exceptional, and the joy of witnessing sights unseen is both invigorating and soothing. I have a profound admiration for this book! Close your eyes and open the book to any page, take in that image, that piece of wisdom and let it tell a story. At times it induces a feeling of inquisitiveness, and other times the images will ake you to a dreamlike state. Let Arquivistas lead you on a path to explore the realms of these "Record Keepers".
