Navigating the Global Art Landscape
Senior Curator & Strategic Advisor Bridging contemporary art and cultural heritage through curatorial excellence and strategic insight.
Personal Approach
I work collaboratively with collectors, institutions, and artists who value long-term strategic thinking over quick transactions. My dual presence in the UK and US markets provides clients with a cross-continental perspective and access to networks spanning London, Los Angeles, and beyond. Every engagement is informed by twenty years of relationships with galleries, museums, collectors, and artists, combined with my own practice as an artist and published critic. This means I understand the art world from every angle: Creative, curatorial, and commercial.
Advisory Services
I help collectors build investment-grade collections, institutions develop compelling exhibitions, and established artists secure representation in international markets. With over 20 years of navigating the global art market and established relationships across leading galleries, museums, and private collections, I provide access and insight that accelerate results.
