  “In contemporary art … we are losing beauty and there is a danger that with it, we will lose the meaning of life.” Roger Scruton

I am a Fine Art Consultant who has a corporate interior design background.

As Director of Interior design for Granzow and Guss Architects I was responsible for the planning, presentations and budgets for furnishings, finishes, artwork, plants and accessories. I plan and fine-tune your art selections into a sophisticated presentation. Architectural firms I have coordinated the fine art planning of projects with include Cesar Pelli’s Office, Perkins and Will, Bostwick Associates, and others.
I  have over 30 years’ experience as a professional fine art planner, fine art appraiser, curator to corporations, hospitals, financial institutions, and private individuals.  Experience includes marketing, contract negotiations, art acquisition, advisory services for current collections, fine art exhibitions and archival preservation.  I partner with clients to build an art collection that both reflect the client’s interests and aesthetic needs along with creating a collection of great value. 
Art appraisals for Insurance value are provided with the client’s needs for estate planning. Documentation in book form is available upon request. Multiple copies can be given to family members to keep the traditions and art collection memories intact.
