I have been working in the art market since 1989 and principally sell drawings. I also advise clients on bidding at auction, buying from dealers, valuations for IRS, valuations for Canadian Cultural Heritage, valuations for Insurance, valuations for other Tax purposes. I also work as a consultant to Bonhams for their Old Master Drawings.
My interest in the arts started as a student at Eton College, where I studied art history, and as a student at St. Andrews University in Scotland. After graduation I joined Sotheby's as a graduate trainee. Then I had a short spell at the British Museum, assisting a keeper in the Prints & Drawings Department. I then joined Phillips, Son & Neale. After a number of years training I went to work at Christie's in the Old Master Drawings Department, and in 1998 I started my own business. In 2000, with a number of colleagues, we launched Master Drawings in London, and in January 2007 launched Master Drawings in New York.
