Invited to participate in the Chairman's Programme at Christie's for a week of full-time work learning about different roles which allowed an insight into how an art business runs. Also shadowed the Law Department for a day.
I was representing Maryam Eisler at the Sotto il Sole di Capri Exhibition in June 2021 this involved speaking to clients and selling Maryam's books and prints. For Maryam's Once Upon a Turquoise Past Exhibition at the David Linley Gallery in November 2021; I compiled a mailing list on Excel and sent invites using Paperless Post. I was present at the opening night speaking to clients and selling the prints. At present I am continually adding to the mailing list and assisting Maryam Eisler when needed.
Gallery assistant to artist Karolina Woolf for the Sotto il Sole di Capri Exhibition I helped in Karolina's studio, setting up and taking down the exhibition, creating and ordering promotional material as well as being present in the gallery each day. I would speak to clients and sell Karolina's sculptures. This was a group exhibition so I also assisted Pandemonia in the selling of her artwork. And Maryam Eisler who's work I spoke about to many clients also sold her prints and books.
