Trusted by artists and collectors.

I've spent more than twenty years inside the commercial art world. Long enough to know that popularity and quality are rarely the same thing.

Before I worked professionally in the art world, it was already home. I grew up in the studios of working artists in Key West, New York, Paris and London. The artists, writers and sculptors around me formed the backdrop to my childhood, and I learnt early that art isn’t simply something to look at, it’s a way of thinking.

Although I grew up immersed in the art world, I took an indirect route into it professionally. I studied Marketing and Advertising in the UK, while working in finance and my early career in BAFTA award-winning television production. Those experiences shaped the commercial perspective I still bring to my work today. Returning to the art world felt like coming home, beginning with Foster/White Gallery in Seattle and leading to a career spanning more than a decade in the international commercial art market.

Beginning with Pacific Northwest glass artists, including William Morris, Dale Chihuly and Venetian masters, my career expanded into Northwest Masters, 20th-century Western and American art, philanthropy and public art. Along the way I worked with institutions, major donors and private collectors, contributing to museum acquisitions, significant private collections and six-figure public art programmes. Returning to London my work expanded into art investment portfolios, artist management, commercial strategy and international art fairs, with a particular focus on connecting investors with emerging artists and creating opportunities for graduates of the Royal College of Art, Central Saint Martins, the Slade and Wimbledon College of Arts.

Over the years I've advised international collectors and public figures, placed works into museums and public collections, represented leading contemporary artists and contributed to acquisitions ranging from emerging artists to multi-million-dollar works.

Whether you are looking for that perfect, intentional piece of art to complete your living room, or building an evidence-based, neuro-affirming collection for a public facility, I help you find art that truly meets your needs.

I handle the entire process from start to finish. I take care of evaluating artwork quality, managing gallery negotiations, coordinating complex logistics, and overseeing final delivery—so you can buy with total confidence, without any of the stress.

I work with clients globally. Much of my work begins long before anyone steps into a gallery or artist's studio, and most projects are managed remotely. Whether you're building a collection, acquiring a single work or delivering a significant art project, I'd be delighted to hear about your collection, your project or your practice.
