Meet Our Team

We're a unique group working daily to bring Japanese prints to collectors, dealers, and enthusiasts worldwide. We take our work seriously, but we take our fun seriously, too! We mix our active, fast-paced Fuji Arts sales days with some laughs, group lunches, and unlimited cold beverages in the fridge.

We're phoning and emailing with you daily, so we'd like to put some faces behind the conversations . . .

Bill Fagan

Founder & President

Bill was born and raised in Michigan and proudly hails from the Upper Midwest. In our part of the USA, we are known for our direct, friendly manner and lack of pretentiousness. That's the perfect place for Fuji Arts, where the "nose in the air" attitude, so common in the art world, just seems unnecessary to us.

After several years in a family business, and some exciting career twists and turns, Bill founded Fuji Arts in 2000. He loves art, travel, collecting, gardening, and having a beer with friends. He's a natural entrepreneur and Fuji Arts is his passion.

David is a Texan by birth and a Michigander by choice. He made his way to Ann Arbor after successfully completing a civil engineering degree, deciding to pursue his passion for Asian arts, language, and cultures. David leads the sales effort at Fuji Arts, and his friendly spirit and intelligence show through.

David loves to travel and has been all over the world. He is a knowledgeable gardener, avid basketball and college football fan, and an all-around fun guy to hang out with.

Paula Doe

Research Director

A Nebraska native, Paula found herself in Michigan by way of Virginia. She has a master's degree in art history and museum studies, and has worked in art galleries and museums as diverse as the Museum of Nebraska History and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.

Phil Harney
