I would love to find a place to connect more with others that are equally energized by the current art climate in the UAE and hopefully do my own little bit to make the art scene as broad and vibrant as it could possibly be.

I would very much like to connect with other people that share an interest in art. I feel that with my background of two decades as an art specialist and auctioneer, I could add to the exchange of knowledge and experience within the community.

I am very interested in many different forms of art. I was lucky to grow up in a family with many works of art in our home. I started my working life as a painting specialist and along the way developed a particular fascination with Orientalist, in itself sparking a lifetime love for the Middle East. Now that I live in Dubai, I try and visit the many galleries in the UAE, involve myself in the art world here and study Middle Eastern Art in my free time.
