Artist Development

Artist and artist development agent specializing in operational support and curatorial projects. I support visual artists in strategically planning for creative sustainability and ensuring their artistic work endures beyond their lifetime. Based in Chicago.

I deeply care about art as cultural nourishment. We're in a pivotal time for creative life: socially, economically, environmentally, and in terms of cultural equity. I'm doing the work to help artists navigate their sustainability for cultural stewardship, supporting creators as they build meaningful, lasting practices that serve both their artistic vision and our collective cultural future.
