Collections Management and Asset Inventory for Trusts/Estates

As a seasoned art collections manager with a passion for meticulous organization, I put this experience to use with my private art collection, ensuring that each piece is cataloged and photographed for estate planning purposes. This has not only provided me with peace of mind but has also inspired me to offer my services to others in need of similar assistance. By leveraging my expertise in cataloging, I can help other artists and collectors safeguard their legacies and ensure there is one less headache to deal with for their estates.

Public Art Project Management

Public art provides the beauty that enhances the mundane. Since 1990, I have worked with nonprofits and municipalities to advance how artworks can elevate place, whether it is a temporary public art intervention, a public art festival, or a site-integrated iconic installation. I have worked with artists across many disciplines, from project conception to completion, to provide a seamless workflow regardless of complexity of project. Whether you are a developer, City agency, artist, or collector, I can help you navigate the complex world of public art.
