About

I am Course Leader for the MA in Art Business programme in the School of Creative Industries & Critical Studies at Kingston School of Art. I am an active art market professional and former auction house executive with more than 15 years of experience in the commercial sector, having worked across all three major areas of the industry: advisory, gallery and auction.

As of November 2022, I also work as a Senior Lecturer in Market Intelligence at Kingston Business School in the Strategy, Marketing and Innovation Department.

My academic interests lie in emerging (art) markets and market intelligence, and my MA thesis was on the emerging art market in Croatia. My professional practice is focused on analysing market intelligence and data to help clients navigate industries which can appear impenetrable from the outside, such as the commercial art world.

I am a trained Contemporary Art Specialist and I am passionate about art of the Post-War period, especially the avant-garde movements of 1950s and 1960s, and the place of female artists in the current market.
