Making the decision to include art in your environment can be both exciting and daunting.

Whether you are looking to purchase new art pieces or reconfigure your current collection, Bellamy is able to work with any size or type of artworks to find the best locations and will arrange for professional installation in your home or office. With 30 years experience as an independent Contemporary Art curator she is always interested in seeking out new artists and working with the client on their needs  and preferences. Bellamy’s experience in institutional collecting is also extensive. During the 13+ years as a curator for a major US medical system, Bellamy, managed major acquisitions, including site-specific commissions and special projects. She is equally comfortable with private and corporate clients.

Cataloging and managing your art collection is important for a myriad of reasons. Whether for insurance purposes or to keep track of locations, anyone with a significant group of artworks should have a concise resource to refer to. By developing a clear accounting of all your art objects, be they your own works, or those that you have collected over the years, you are making an investment for the future of your holdings. Bellamy uses a specific software that helps organize many aspects of each individual object, and with your help for documents or oral history, she can build a platform from which you can manage your art assets.
