Shop Profile

A dealer for the last 20 years and a shop proprietor for 15, I owned and managed a large antique center in NY's capitol district. Early on I earned degrees in Fine Arts and Art Education and as a "stay at home" Mom. Over the years, my interests have run the gamut with regard to antiques. Currently I search out early country primitive and painted pieces for my own home and resale. Having just sold my shop, I have more time to put toward my ever growing interest in early antiques and Americana.
