Her experience benefits my career and professional relationships with new dealers.”

“I am the Collection Manager for the Peter Norton Art Collection. Jeremy worked with us on a very large donation project. It involved doing appraisals for approximately 200 art works of contemporary art being donated to eight university and college art museums throughout the US. It was a very complicated project that required a great deal of research and report writing. Jeremy’s knowledge and experience was invaluable. She brought a skill set to the project that really moved the appraisal project along in a professional and extremely qualified manner. She is a pleasure to work with.”

– Gwen Hill, Art Collection Manager, The Peter Norton Collection, LA & NY
