About me
Born and raised in Europe, I grew up in a family surrounded by antiques and a deep interest in the arts. Conversations too often lead to discussions of the history and acquisition of fine art and antiques. It is no wonder then that a little girl would develop a lifelong love affair with art. Still continually inspired by questions such as: ‘Who has held this?’, “Who has looked at this?” “Where has it been?” “What was the artist thinking"? ……ahhh, the questions, mostly go un-answered but the intrigue to learn and explore never diminishes.
‘Art is inspired for and by mankind’s thoughts, experiences, and emotions. Their expressions through art, reflect the times and environment they live in.’
After years of owning an antique store and art gallery, I have developed not only experience but also a solid understanding of the current art market and its ever-changing trends. My passion has evolved into a business of guiding and advising art lovers, collectors, and businesses in expanding their art collection.
