I am an appraiser, curator, writer, and educator eager to help you explore, document, and share the multifaceted values of art—aesthetic, intellectual, moral, personal, social, economic, and financial.

My appraisal practice focuses on postwar, contemporary, and emerging art; Outsider/Self-Taught art; and American furniture and decorative arts. I am a graduate of the Appraisers Association of America’s Comprehensive Appraisal Studies Program (CASP) and comply with the Uniform Standards for Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).

I have more than 30 years of experience working with museums and other arts organizations. I am a longstanding contributor of articles and essays to exhibition catalogues, general readership periodicals, scholarly journals, and online forums.

Throughout my time and across my experiences studying and working with fine and decorative arts, I’ve had the good fortune to pursue varied passions. In addition to the focuses of my appraisal practice mentioned above, I developed—and am always enhancing—extensive knowledge of modern art, 18th- and 19th-century American art, folk art, and Judaica.

I look forward to meeting you at the intersection of art, people, meaning, and values. We’ll go from there.
