Tracy’s expertise in sales management and finance coincides with her passion for Art. A convergence of factors in recent years has generated higher interest in Art as an asset class to diversify investments. With the growth of FinTech over the past 20 years, the financial industry saw significant changes in transparency and accessibility for investors and Tracy is following the same trend to the art world. Tracy loves connecting clients to Art and Artists to collectors. By leveraging her acquired knowledge, she is excited to make art accessible to her clients, determine what they connect with and then can serve as an appreciating asset while being an item of admiration.
