Work Experience

Arch & Company Fine Arts / Creative Director

2007 - Present

Arch & Company Fine Arts has a threefold mission; we advise individual, small business, corporate and institutional collectors wishing to enrich their corporate culture and improve public relations by building purposeful collections and public exhibitions of fine art in the workplace. Other services include portrait/memorial commissions and confidential brokerage.

Secondly, we strive to promote the infinite variety of Canadian Art across the globe and broker its finest to collectors, investors and public institutions worldwide while simultaneously seeking out exceptional new talent from emerging art markets for our Canadian clients.

Arch & Company also represents a select roster of talent and curates a portfolio of work by Canadian and International Artists.

The Arch Public Art Advisory / Director

2006 - Present

The Arch Public Art Advisory is a private trust founded in the public interest in order to preserve for later generations the visual history of the British West Indies, conserve archives and photographs significant to the history and development of the region and ensure their stability, integrity and availability for exhibition and research. A special emphasis is placed upon maritime art, photography and film footage of the shipbuilding era of the Cayman Islands. In 2006 the Advisory’s mission was amended to provide for the collection and conservation of world class and museum worthy fine art to benefit the cultural institutions of both the Cayman Islands and Canada to promote artistic excellence and cultural collaboration between the two countries
