I have 15 years experience in the arts, advertising, and media. I have worked in production, art buying and creative consulting. I bridge the gap between creative and commercial worlds.
I have a huge network of artists which I have built up over the years and an in depth understanding of brands.
Most recently I set up Darklight Art. An online platform selling small edition photography fine art prints and books. Our aim is to make art accessible for everyone. We are passionate about encouraging female art collectors.
