Hello friends! I’m passionate about connecting artists that I love with collectors that I care about. With nearly 15 years of experience, I have performed just about every role in the art eco-system, from gallery associate to running my own gallery, curating special projects to working a booth at art fairs. My approach is based on putting the client’s needs first, building and nourishing that relationship from before the first sale to long after the next one. Educating the client is the most fulfilling part of the job, especially when I get to be the student too.100% bilingual in English and French.
