In all aspects of my career I have been passionately dedicated to promoting the visual arts. I have had the privilege of cultivating my expertise in the areas of sourcing, curating, marketing, merchandising (including online, offline, and brick-and-mortar promotions) product development, team building and managing, as well as the hands-on design and creation of hand-crafted jewelry.

At the core of my expertise is a depth of knowledge in material applications and techniques used to create beautiful handcrafted works, a genuine respect for artists and what they represent (especially in today’s market, which is chock full of competitively priced mass produced items) and the belief that building and maintaining positive relationships with artists, and the communities in which they work, is a vital component to successfully promoting and supporting their work.
