I am an independent art advisor and educator. I assist motivated clients engage their vision for building and marshalling a meaningful art collection: I place emphasis on value, scholarship, and aesthetics. I lecture on subjects such as Collecting Strategies, Ancient Indian Art, and Modern and Contemporary Indian Art. My enterprise also provides tailored art tours for individuals, organizations, and corporations. These activities are part-and-parcel of my broader curatorial practice that seeks to engage both the expert and uninitiated in allowing art to demonstrate linkages across geographic barriers and time.
I acquired my first work of art for a private collection in 2007. I have since earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Art History and Economics (Middlebury College, 2009), a Post-Graduate Diploma in Asian Art (SOAS, University of London, 2011), and a Master’s Degree in History of Art and Archaeology (SOAS, Univeristy of London, 2012). In addition to working for the art consultancy Nancy Rosen Incorporated in New York, I assisted in the curatorial departments at the British Museum (London, UK); Middlebury College Museum of Art (VT, USA); High Museum of Art (Atlanta, USA); and in the commercial sector at Jack Shainman Gallery (NYC) and Gallery Chemould( Mumbai). I organized the exhibition ‘Celebrity’ (Middlebury College Museum of Art, Summer 2010), co-curated ‘Re:Renewal’ (Goodenough College, London, January 2013) and am curatorial advisor for the exhibition ‘Work In Public’ (Berlin, Sept. 2014). I am currently a guest lecturer for the Diploma in Asian Art at SOAS (University of London) and have lectured at The Oxford and Cambridge Club (London), Museum of the Southwest (Midland, Texas) and the Lovett School(Atlanta) among others. I live and work in London.
