Exhibitions, with artists
I work with artists and spaces to shape a show from the first idea to the last label: the selection, the hang, the words on the wall, and the people in the room.
For artists and venues planning a show.

You're invited to Quiet Weather.
New paintings by Ines Halvorsen at Sable Street Projects, 8 October to 14 November. I've spent a year with this work, and I'd love to show it to you in person.
Hello
Hello, I'm Gloria.
the short version of what I believeI'm an independent curator, collection manager and advisor. I work with artists to make exhibitions, look after collections for artists and collectors, and help people buy art they'll still love in twenty years.
Good work deserves good company. Most of what I do is making the introduction.
More about meWhat I do
Three ways I can help.
Every engagement is different, but they all start the same way: a conversation about what you have, what you want, and what's in the way.
Looking after what you have
Inventory, condition, storage, loans, paperwork, and the quiet decisions that keep a body of work in good order, whether it's a lifetime of studio output or a growing private collection.
For artists, estates and collectors.
See how I workBuying well
What to look at, what to pay, what to pass on, and how a group of purchases becomes a collection with a point of view. I don't sell work, so my advice is only ever about you.
For collectors, new and established.
Start a conversationSelected work
A few things I'm proud of.
Three to begin with: a show opening this autumn, one from last year, and a collection I'm looking after right now. The list grows as shows open and engagements wrap up.
