I can't remember a time when the arts wasn't my main focus. I was lucky to travel when I was young which made me excited about museums, art, and culture as a kid. I took every art class that I was able to find and ended up at the Savannah...


Favorite exhibition
One of my favorite exhibitions that I had the privilege of seeing was Leonardo da Vinci at the Louvre (October 24, 2019 - February 24, 2020). I believe this was the largest retrospective of Da Vinci's work and it was timed to the 500th anniversary of his death. It was probably the most crowded exhibition I have ever been to, and still, it was as life-altering as you can imagine! Beyond his monumental works, the best part of the show was being able to see his sketches and notebooks as they filled glass case after glass case. It truly felt like an invitation into his mind. Another favorite I have to shout out would be the Flight into Egypt: Black Artists and Ancient Egypt, 1876–Now exhibition at the Met (November 17, 2024–February 17, 2025). Most art historians start as Egyptology nerds when they're young, and seeing ancient works in dialog with contemporary artists that are active in the art world was incredible!

Favorite exhibition
Calder at Fondation Louis Vuitton The exhibition highlighted the extraordinary balance between engineering and poetry that defines Calder's work. Experiencing the scale, movement, and spatial dialogue of his sculptures together offered a deeper appreciation of how he transformed sculpture into something both dynamic and remarkably light.

My experience in the art world has come from wearing many hats. From working at a gallery and building relationships with collectors, to testing the waters by opening my own pop-up gallery exhibitions, I’ve had the opportunity to learn the...


Favorite exhibition
One exhibition that has really stayed with me was Ecos by Alejandro Piñeiro Bello, which we presented this past April. Working at KDR has introduced me to so many incredible artists, but being involved in bringing this exhibition to life and then experiencing it in person was especially meaningful. I’m drawn to Alejandro’s story, his practice, and the way his paintings transport me to a beautiful Caribbean world. His work is filled with warmth, memory, and a strong sense of place, qualities that continue to stay with me long after I leave the gallery.

Favorite exhibition
One of my favorite exhibitions in recent years was Kylie Manning's 2024 show at Pace in Hong Kong. I was drawn to her extraordinary use of color and the way her paintings slowly reveal themselves. What initially feels abstract begins to transform into figures, landscapes, and stories the longer you look. The experience perfectly reflects what I value most in art: work that invites you to slow down, look twice, and uncover something you didn't see the first time.

Favorite exhibition
Richard Serra's East-West/West-East in the Qatari desert. Visited during the first edition of Art Basel Qatar. One of those works that stays with you. Up close, the steel plates feel monumental; set against the vast desert, they almost dissolve into the horizon. That shift in scale makes the work both powerful and deeply contemplative.

Favorite exhibition
I’m still thinking about James Turrell’s exhibition at Gagosian in Le Bourget in 2024. My mom and I missed our international flight to Bangkok for that show. Super chaotic, but totally worth it.
