ARTS ENTHUSIAST + COMMUNICATIONS STRATEGIST
I am an avid arts enthusiast and skilled internal communications strategist aspiring to enter the dynamic arts world.
I welcome connections from fellow enthusiasts, local artists and professionals in collections or curation who are open to collaborate or provide advice on navigating the arts business.
ABOUT ME
I cannot tell you what was the exact piece that brought me to my revelation, but when I realized in my 12th grade AP Art History class that art was the most beautiful and sincere way to experience the world in its past and present, my life changed.
From then on I have received art - paintings, sculptures, architecture and more, as important relics of mankind. I do not take it lightly when someone bestows the title of artist upon themself because that is an essential role in the world. I often find myself stimulated by the art surrounding me. When walking past government buildings I can be heard identifying the different types of columns based on the capital and flutes. Or when perusing Instagram I get excited when I see a modern artist post their own rendition of “The Kiss” by Gustav Klimt.
​
What I enjoy most about art, besides how it portrays our vast world and history, is its sheer existence. Think about it. Art stems from the idea of a concept that someone just thought up, mixed with their passion to create, resulting in a piece for us all to enjoy. If that’s not the most beautiful thing that you can imagine, then I don’t know what is.
​
My interest in the arts varies from genuine appreciation to skillful curation and tasteful collection. I am eager to learn more about the strategic process of building one’s collection and curating a masterful assortment/ showcase.
Aside: My infatuation of the arts also includes, but is not limited to, dance, music, theater, winemaking, writing, etc., and I hope to attract fellow art appreciators and practitioners to reach out.
