One of my favorite things about being a curator is working with the artists themselves. I want to know what their vision is for the show and how we can bring that to life. Oftentimes, an artist wants to leave curation up to the museum or gallery. Either way, there is conversation and ideas to be discussed to make sure that the artist feels good about how their work is being presented to the public, how to best utilize the space, and how best to tell the story of the work and the artist in a cohesive and impactful way. Each show is a whole new world of experience, meaning and fulfillment.
