I am an art entrepreneur involved in many aspects of the art world - all to facilitate the flow of art!  

As an art advisor, I use my database of over 400 artists to find art for collectors, designers, commercial developers, the hospitality industry, and  institutional buyers - offering presentations of options to match any need, budget, or style.

As a fine art curator, I have curated multiple galleries, produced many independent projects, charity exhibits, and special pop-up art events, including major exhibits at Bergamot Station in Santa Monica, the LA Convention Center, Stagecoach Country Music and Art Festival, the Reef at LA Mart, and numerous other private and public events. My charity exhibits have benefited Art Share LA, Portraits of the Fallen Memorial, Christian Health Centers, Cycle of Lives Cancer Research, and Free Arts for Abused Children.

As an art marketing and communications consultant, I handle business development and outreach, and implement marketing, PR and social media strategies for artists, galleries, art organizations, and non-profits.

Backstory

For two decades I have been involved in the some aspect of the art world – from gallery owner and curator to private art advisor, handled marketing/PR and social media for artists, galleries, and art organizations, staged homes and commercial properties, written numerous articles for multiple publications and platforms, and served on various boards. My fascination with the local art scene and friendships with many downtown artists prompted me to open a gallery in 2006 in the center of Downtown LA on Gallery Row while it was still a controversial area. As the galleries began multiplying and the crowds grew, so did my love and knowledge of the exploding Los Angeles contemporary art scene. After selling and marketing art and curating nearly 100 exhibitions, I have a vast knowledge and database of local artists, collectors, gallery owners and press, thus making me a valuable consultant for anyone involved in the business of fine art.

I am happiest when surrounded by art and artists. I am a voracious collector!  I usually attend multiple gallery openings every weekend, always looking for the next rising star. My art coverage has included a regular column for DowntownLALife.com called “Daley’s Weekly,” where I covered art events featured all around town, writing artist profiles for the regional Fabrik Magazine, providing event coverage and artist interviews for CartwheelArt.com, art editorials for the international publication Art Voices, and multiple artists profiles for the online art media outlet ArtReportToday. These days I am relaunching my blog - so please visit my PROSE tab and look for me soon on Substack!
