Art. Ideas.
Dialogue.
Connection.
Art can stir emotions, awaken wonder, prompt reflection, shift perspectives, and catalyze dialogue. With fifteen years of experience as a campus museum and gallery director, educator, curator, and consultant, I facilitate transformative encounters with art, grounded in a desire to meaningfully connect people with art, ideas, and each other.
Whether you’re an artist looking for professional development, an organization in search of a workshop facilitator or guest curator, or an individual/business building a collection, let me connect the dots for you!

We've worked together on a number of projects since then, including a panel presentation for the College Art Association Conference, and an academic publication (2023) for the Journal of Arts & Communities.
“Working with Amy has always felt like an easy collaboration. The enthusiasm and dedication she brings to each project is infectious. Both artist- and student-centered, Amy’s approach to education and curation [creates] a thoughtful bridge between contemporary art and learning environments, making the work accessible to a wider audience, while inviting rigorous discourse. It’s been a joy to work with her over the years. ”
