Every letter you receive also plants a tree.

PORTRAIT LETTER CLUB
Printed postcard-sized on sturdy, tactile paper that feels more like personal stationery than souvenir, each print is signed and numbered for that month’s edition only.
Slip it into a frame, lean it on a shelf, keep it inside a journal or planner. One card is a gesture. Twelve become the beginning of an archive.
The Art
pocket-sized gallery moments
Every month I sit at my desk and write a letter that could never live on social media.
I write about the archetype of the month — the self that is being asked to lead, soften, protect, release, endure, or return.
These are reflection letters, not lectures. A few pages you can read in one sitting and return to when the month gets heavy.
The Letter
real correspondence, not a newsletter
The REFLECTION
Content with immeasurable value
One
of only 1,000 envelopes
in the world
Mail art has lived inside museums and archives for decades.
The Portrait Letter Club is my contemporary version: an editioned artwork, delivered by post.
a monthly act of self-recognition
These envelopes give you:
a visible anchor — the portrait card on your desk, shelf, or bedside table
a different lens — the letter that asks, gently, who is living this month through you, and what part of you wants to lead
It is not tips.
It is perspective.
It is self-respect.
Over time, the envelopes become a small archive of your becoming: what you were thinking about, what you were moving through, what you were ready to claim.
Letters that plant trees
Every envelope also plants a tree.
For each letter I mail, I fund the planting of one tree through carefully chosen reforestation projects. For every full year you are in the club, that means 12 trees planted in your name — one for every month I write to you.
When this tier is full at 1,000 members, we will be planting 1,000 trees every month — 12,000 trees every year — a small forest growing quietly alongside this club.
Studio work should not cost the earth. Each year I choose a new reforestation location so every cycle of letters grows its own quiet forest.

Plant a tree,
receive my art in a letter

I want this to stay intimate and I need to protect time for:
- my studio practice creating original series and exhibiting the work
- a very limited number of portrait commissions each year
- releasing a small number of museum-quality prints

about your new pen pal
Atlanta Weiss
I’ve spent years in studios, at fairs and in collectors’ homes, watching how people actually live with art: how they hang it, how they talk to it, how it quietly changes them over time.
My work lives between old-master discipline and contemporary psychology. I care about light, composition, and line — and just as much about self-image, boundaries, memory, and the roles we move through as we love, protect, grieve, choose, and begin again.
The Portrait Letter Club is where the gallery voice softens into correspondence. Once a month, I write to you not from a pedestal, but from the studio and from the life I am also living.
If you would like that voice and that eye in your mailbox, this is how I do it.
Small serious works. Big serious ideas.
How It Works
3 steps
JOIN THE CLUB
Choose your membership — monthly or annual — and complete checkout.
Annual memberships run for 12 consecutive months from the day you join and renew on that same date each year.
Monthly studio mailing
Once a month, I print, sign and number that month’s archetype art prints, write the studio letter, and mail your envelope from Germany. Shipping worldwide is included – and for every letter I send, one tree is planted.
Open, read, live with it
When your envelope arrives, take a few quiet minutes to open it, read the letter, and place the print where you will see it. Let it walk through the month with you.
FOR THOSE RETURNING TO THEMSELVES
- You are reflective, self-aware, and drawn to beauty that carries depth.
- You are drawn to intimate collecting — art that arrives personally, quietly, and with meaning.
- You want what enters your life and home to feel considered, beautiful, and worth keeping.
If you are here for beauty, meaning, and a quieter way of returning to yourself — and you love the idea that your mail also plants trees — you are home.

Questions & Answers
01
Is this “JUST mail” or “serious art”?
Both. These are small works, but they’re part of my real practice – part of an ongoing archetype series. Every print is signed, limited to 1000, and archived in my studio records.
02
03
Will the same print be reissued later?
No. The same portrait or motif may appear in larger works or exhibitions, but the A6 postcard in club format for that month is exclusive and not reprinted.
04
Where do you ship?
From Germany, worldwide. Shipping is included in your Club membership, and for each letter I mail, one tree is planted.
Is this only for people “who know about art”?
Is this connected to ‘mail art’?
No. If you love reflection, stories and the feeling of being taken seriously, you’re ready. The letters are written in human language, not theory.
Yes—in the historical sense: artists have used the postal system as a legitimate medium since the mid-20th century, and institutions have documented it as a serious practice.
This Club is my studio’s refined, collectible interpretation.
05
Do members get priority for originals and commissions?
Members are the first to hear about new originals, print releases and portrait commission slots each year. If you already have a commission in mind, the Club places you at the front of the line with priority booking.
How many members will there be at this tier?
A maximum of 1,000 members worldwide. When it’s full, new sign-ups go onto a waitlist until a place opens.
06
DOES EACH LETTER REALLY PLANT A TREE?
Yes. For every envelope I send, one tree is planted through carefully chosen reforestation projects. Over a full year that’s twelve trees per member – a small forest growing quietly alongside this club.
