Who I Serve

I work exclusively with people in the art world because your finances are unlike anyone else's.

Artists

You’re building a body of work. I build the financial systems that support it. From consignment tracking to tax-ready books, I ensure your practice runs on clean, organized financials.

Clean books.
Tax ready records.

Galleries

Running a gallery means artist settlements, multi-state sales, and art fair reporting. I structure the accounting behind it so your operations stay clean and controlled.

Structured bookkeeping.
Controlled operations.

Art Professionals

You work at the intersection of art and commerce. You advise collectors, manage estates, deal works, or run a specialized practice. I build financial systems that keep your operation organized, compliant, and profitable.

Structured reporting.
Clear profitability.

Services

My services are designed for three stages of the art world.

My career sits at the intersection of studio practice and accounting.

I hold an MFA and BFA in Sculpture and an MS in Accounting. My experience spans the full art ecosystem, from a gallery to an art handling company to leading finance operations at an art advisory firm. I connect creative work and financial systems. I have managed exhibition budgets, tracked consignments across multiple galleries, and handled multi-state sales tax.

The art world operates differently from most industries. Inventory can appreciate over time. Consignments carry layered obligations. Revenue is irregular and project-based. Your financial reporting should reflect those realities.

I work with artists, galleries, and art professionals who want accurate books, organized systems, and clear visibility into cash flow and profitability. You should know where your money is, what you owe, and what you earn at any given moment.
