Curator Portfolio

For more than a decade, my work in the arts has been guided by a deep commitment to fostering creative dialogue and supporting artists. I approach curation not merely as the arrangement of objects, but as a collaborative, community-centered act. This philosophy has shaped my path since 2015, bridging independent projects, gallery direction, and deep institutional care.

For me, curating extends far beyond the gallery walls. My practice is continuously fed and challenged by my active engagement across the arts ecosystem—whether I am mentoring students during university critiques, sharing ideas as a guest lecturer, jurying exhibitions, or advocating for the field on non-profit advisory committees. Every role informs the next, creating a holistic approach to how I hold space for art and artists.

Currently, I bring this multifaceted perspective to my role as the Exhibitions and Collection Manager at Northern Clay Center, where I focus on grounding vibrant contemporary exhibitions with thoughtful, dedicated care for the objects and narratives we share.

Below are links to select projects. Links with single artist names are exhibitions where I received permission from the artist to select works and work collaboratively on their vision.
