ABOUT

SAAS is the latest expression of a career devoted to art, design, scholarship, teaching, and the stewardship of cultural collections. With degrees from the University of Georgia and the University of Chicago, I have held positions at the Museum of the Art Institute of Chicago, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the Saint Louis Art Museum, Fisk University Galleries, the Georgia Museum of Art, and Jenner & Block.

My experience spans museum leadership, curatorial practice, collections research, fine art and architectural studio work, and collegiate art history instruction. I have also served as a Metro Nashville Arts Commissioner and Missouri Arts Commission grants reviewer, and on advisory committees for cultural partnerships involving the Saint Louis Art Museum, Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts, Fisk University, Crystal Bridges Museum, Marwen Foundation, and the Spencer Museum of Art.

These experiences inform an approach to art advising that is discerning, discreet, and deeply personal. I work closely with my clients to develop collections of distinction—grounded in individual sensibility, intentionality, and lasting relevance.

Whether evaluating a singular work or shaping an evolving collection, my objective is to help clients make better-informed, more purposeful decisions that make collecting a meaningful, rewarding, and deeply personal part of life.
