PRESSING QUESTIONS
How I knew this was my passion
Seeing clients light up after finding a piece they’ll live with daily is everything. Representing David Yarrow and witnessing his philanthropic impact deepened that passion.
Biggest challenges in my career
Opening our Jackson Hole gallery meant splitting time between two states while raising young children. It was demanding, but ultimately pushed our business to a new level.
My first job and what it taught me
My first job in New York’s fashion industry taught me discipline, respect for others’ time and the importance of thinking creatively and independently.
A nonprofit I wish more people knew about
We’re proud platinum sponsors of The Big Good, a Fort Worth nonprofit making a meaningful local impact.
What keeps me coming back to my job every day
The constant discovery — finding exceptional, one-of-a-kind pieces and connecting them with people who truly appreciate art and design.
Best career moment so far
Representing David Yarrow across our galleries and building a personal friendship with him has been a defining highlight of my career.
A skill I never expected to need in this field
Heavy lifting. From installing artwork to reworking spaces, being hands-on and taking initiative is essential in this business.
One practice I use to maintain my mental health
Stepping outside for fresh air, even briefly, helps me reset.
Best advice I ever received
Your reputation is everything. Do what you say you’ll do, exceed expectations and treat people with kindness and respect.
The one thing I wish people knew about my field
Art is deeply personal — no two people see a piece the same way.
The first thing I do to course-correct when I hit a wall
Pause. Taking a moment to step back allows for a clearer, more thoughtful path forward.
