About
Emily is a cultural practitioner based in London, raised in a family of artists and creatives. She initially pursued a path in music, having played piano from a young age, before pivoting towards the art world.
Her professional career has centred on the London art market, with over six years of experience spanning auction houses, commercial galleries, and art advisory. This breadth has given her a nuanced understanding of the different structures and sensibilities that shape the contemporary market.
She has project-managed several notable exhibitions, including Sometimes Forever by Oliver Clegg and Seven Scenes of Separation by Abul Hisham, working closely with artists to help realise ambitious curatorial visions.
Among the exhibitions that have most shaped her perspective are Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty at the V&A, Jean Dubuffet: Brutal Beauty at the Barbican, and Eva Helene Pade: Søgelys at Thaddaeus Ropac. Regularly exploring exhibitions across the city continues to inform her understanding of what the market and audiences are responding to.
Alongside her professional work, she maintains a deep interest in literature, reading widely across genres and traditions. Recent favourites include All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr, Emma by Jane Austen, and Electra by Sophocles. When not in a gallery, she can often be found exploring London’s bookshops, adding to an ever-growing reading list.
