About
◼︎
I'm thrilled to step into the role of Gallery Director at Red Gallery, an iconic establishment nestled in the vibrant heart of Fitzroy North since 2002—a true epic centre of Australia's bustling art scene, pulsating with creative energy.
My journey into the world of art is deeply personal, rooted in my childhood spent amidst the canvases and colors of my late father's painting studio. As a little girl, I would lose myself in the mesmerizing world of brushstrokes and pigments, dreaming about far-off places and distant worlds through the lens of my father's art. Those moments spent in the studio were more than just a pastime—they were the foundation upon which my love for art was built. The deep affection for art has been my guiding light ever since, sustaining my passion and authenticity amidst the disciplined world of commerce. While learning the importance of strength and self-control professionally, my heart remains devoted to the endless possibilities of creativity and expression.
After obtaining dual degrees in Economics and English Language, followed by a Master's in E-commerce, I immersed myself in International Trade and logistics, which enabled me to encounter diverse artistic expressions worldwide as a result of travel in this industry. From marveling at masterpieces in the Uffizi Gallery to experiencing avant-garde installations at Art Basel Hong Kong, each encounter enriched my artistic perspective. Furthering my knowledge through courses at institutions like the Sotheby Institute of Art, I am now fortunate as the new Director of Red Gallery to be able to dedicate and nurture a dynamic artistic community and create a space where creativity flourishes and cultural exchange thrives.
Red Gallery is poised to unveil our visionary outlook. With the launch of a virtual gallery, we're journeying into the digital sphere, complementing our enhanced online presence aimed at engaging global art enthusiasts. Furthermore, we're eagerly fostering collaborations with esteemed international galleries, enriching our artistic offerings, and expanding our influence. Stay tuned for even more exciting developments on the horizon.
Embrace this intimate journey with me, as we redefine Red Gallery's place in the art world. With a fervent desire to unite Australia's vibrant art community globally, we'll tenderly cultivate creativity and forge connections that defy distance. This mission echoes the profound moments of my childhood, where art enveloped me in its tender embrace, weaving tales of passion and purpose, steadfastly illuminating my path with its radiant touch. Let's infuse Red Gallery with renewed purpose, crafting a sanctuary where art transcends boundaries and ignites heart and soul.
