  •  Remba Gallery/Mixographia, Los Angeles, CA

  •  American Fine Arts Co., New York, NY

  • South La Brea Gallery (SLBG), Inglewood, CA - Opened in 2002 as an exhibition space dedicated to three core principles: exhibiting contemporary art of emerging and under represented artists, fostering a space for new curators to hone their craft, and assisting prospective private and corporate collectors in purchasing and understanding the methods of building an informed art collection. The commonality of these three principles is education, and SLBG operated as a facilitator for emerging professionals that create, organize and collect the next cohort of contemporary art. At SLBG these three groups collectively pushed the boundaries art production, exhibition and collecting.
