After a successful career as a graphic designer, art director and illustrator representing some of North Carolina's most prominent arts organizations, as well as a major publishing house, I decided to follow my passion for art and pursue a career as a broker of 20th century art, design and craft.
I have served as Co-Chair of the Board of Directors for the Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center (www.blackmountaincollege.org) and I currently serve on their Advisory Board. The BMC+AC was featured in the Wall Street Journal as one of the top 10 small museums in the United States. My wife, Kelly, and I were guest curators for the first two exhibits in North Carolina with a focus on modernism: "Thinking Ahead: Progressive Design + Black Mountain College" for the BMCM+AC in 2006, and "Living By Design" in 2007 for the Asheville Art Museum (www.ashevilleart.org). Most recently, I curated the exhibit and authored the catalog for "Breaking New Ground: The Studio Potter + Black Mountain College". This show was the first to explore the importance of Black Mountain College as an major influence on 20th century studio ceramics.
My wife and I have been featured in Wallpaper* magazine's Top 100 and my museum projects have received attention in Dwell, Modernism, American Craft and a host of other local and regional publications.
As a broker, I sell pieces to collectors, designers and institutions. Whether you are interested in selling a single item or an entire collection, I am available to represent you. I purchase items directly as well as offering a consignment option. If you are looking for a special piece to add to your collection, I can help you acquire it. I am also available to provide you with discreet, professional representation at auction. My services can be easily tailored to meet your needs--please feel free to contact me to discuss your options. My passion for good design, along with my extensive knowledge, expertise and contacts make it possible for me to effectively assist you, whether you are buying or selling.
