ISA Accredited Member | Fine Art & Antiques Appraiser
With over 3 decades of experience in the appraisal of fine art, antiques, and decorative objects, I bring a trusted, research-driven approach to evaluating your most treasured items. As an Accredited Member of the International Society of Appraisers (ISA), I adhere to the highest standards of ethical practice and USPAP-compliant reporting.
I earned my Postgraduate Degree in Connoisseurship: Fine and Decorative Arts, Renaissance through Contemporary, from Christie’s Education in London, England, where I graduated top of my class. This rigorous academic training, paired with nearly a decade immersed in the international art world in New York City, informs every appraisal I deliver.
During my 9 years in NYC, I worked across the spectrum of the art market — with Fine Art Connoisseur Magazine, ArtReview Magazine, premier galleries, auction houses, and the Art Basel fairs, developing a sharp eye for authenticity, provenance, and market trends.
Whether you're seeking an appraisal for insurance, estate, donation, or resale, I provide detailed, defensible reports tailored to your needs, always with precision, integrity, and care.
