What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my art sales experience while fostering relationships with clients and artists in a dynamic environment.

As an Art Sales Agent for Benjamin L.M., I specialize in selling art and securing licensing deals for emerging artists. My role involves networking with art collectors and galleries, ensuring that I connect the right pieces with the right audiences. I thrive on building relationships and meeting potential clients to promote the artists I represent.

Previously, I served as a Gallery Administrator at Rapid Estate Liquidators & Auction Gallery, where I was responsible for maintaining inventory, preparing artwork for shipment, and managing client inquiries. My dedication and leadership skills led to a promotion within seven months, allowing me to take on greater responsibilities in client and account management.

In addition to my professional experience, I have engaged in meaningful missionary work in Johannesburg, South Africa, where I lectured primary school students and contributed to community support initiatives. My diverse experiences have equipped me with strong organizational, communication, and customer service skills, making me a well-rounded candidate in the art industry.
