From the family archive · Growing up around art

It started long
before a job title.

I grew up going to art shows with my dad, surrounded by artists, collectors, and the work they cared about. Time in the family gallery and at Santa Fe Indian Market became an education of its own.

Today, as co-owner of Medicine Man Gallery in Tucson, I work across gallery operations, artist relationships, and collector engagement. My interests connect Western and Native American art with the ways new audiences discover it.

That means spending time with the objects themselves—and bringing those conversations into videos, exhibitions, and museum discussions. I help people find a starting point, ask better questions, and look a little longer.
