How does my background apply to art marketing?

2 years. One's success depends on building and maintaining relationships.
Museum Curator
4 years. Artists within the community are vital to the health of an art museum.

It's our job to teach them how to look at and appreciate art.
Art Collector
20 years. I buy art from artists I meet and like.
You really should meet more people and be nice to them.

about the photo at the top of the page
The photo that I use in the title graphic on this site was taken by Kimberly Lennox.
It's a picture of me inside an art installation made of bungee cords, which was part of an exhibition at the Denver Art Museum.
In order to appreciate this piece, you had to step into the maze of bungee cords and
pry them apart from one another to take your next step.
The work is called Bert Hölldobler and Edward O. Wilson in the rain and is by Tobias Rehberger.
