I am passionate with art and how it enhances our lives and our surroundings! I love putting people together with what they love and helping my clients discover how art can enrich their work environment, strengthen the architecture of a commercial development project, or make a house a home that magnifies a family's personality.

When I walk into a new space, I approach it like a puzzle. Whether in a commercial or residential setting, art in a given space should relate—tell a story—speak to each other, whether by content, color, diversity, or context. It should heighten a viewer's awareness of the space while adding a layer to the design and layout of the environment.

My forte is discovering each of my clients' unique taste in art, developing a plan to carry out their intention for their condominium project, multi-use office space, executive office, or residence.
I help to illuminate the potential of an area... pop it with art that provides color, interest, intensity, and sensibility. After reviewing a myriad of images with clients, I get a feel for their aesthetic. I dig, explore, research and investigate to find both establish and emerging artists, at all price points, in order to help realize and complement my client's vision.

I manage the entire process, staying in constant communication with my client, from purchasing the art, to the framing, and delivery. When it all comes together during installation, when one can move through a space with an ease, a flow, and an excitement for what one sees... then I know we have all achieved our goal!
