I’m especially passionate about helping collectors build meaningful, enduring fine art collections and beautifully preserving and showcasing their artwork. We are living in a time of remarkable artistic abundance, and I’m deeply excited to curate exceptional works for our community—art that sparks joy, invites curiosity and stays with the viewer. I love supporting artists as they find their voices while guiding collectors toward art they can truly live with and love for a lifetime. What motivates you in your life? My work and my family motivate me every day. Being surrounded by art gives me energy and perspective. Art is powerful—it comforts, challenges, and inspires us—and I feel grateful to bring that power into my community. It’s something people can lean on in both good times and difficult ones. I’m deeply thankful for my husband, who supports and pushes me to grow, and for my family, who keeps me grounded and reminds me what truly matters. Their support gives me the confidence to take risks and build something meaningful. Where do you find inspiration on the Peninsula? The Peninsula is full of treasures. I love how quickly you can step into nature and feel worlds away from the city’s energy. The coastline holds a very special place in my heart—walking barefoot along the beach, breathing in the salty air. That connection to nature is how I recharge, reflect and find clarity.
