I have worked as an art consultant in the South African art world since 1993 - my specialist field of interest lies in our country's contemporary original prints.
Original fine art print consulting
From 1993 I began to promote and market prints produced at The Caversham Press (established in 1986).
This enriching experience kick-started my ongoing love for the exceptionally expressive properties inherent through the medium of printmaking.
From the early 2000s, I also began to market works for The Artists' Press and Tim Foulds (Tim's Print Studio).

Other projects
My virtual art platform outoftheCUBE ran between 2013 and 2018, and introduced online solo exhibitions by artists whose work interested me.
Groups of these exhibitions were thematically linked alongside my curator's statements.
Throughout its duration, outoftheCUBE participated in 5 art fairs as a gallerist and an individual curator, and 3 'real-life' exhibitions featuring its artists.
From 2018 and 2020 I assisted Sharon Sampson with her biannual project FAP (South African Fine Art Print Fair).
I joined The Printing Girls (TPG) - a professional
network of South African female printmakers - in 2018.
Ongoing, TPG organises and curates themed exhibitions of original prints by its members.
In 2021 I was a member of the TPG admin team.
