ARtful counsel /Legal creativity

Legal services for artists, creative entrepreneurs, and arts organizations - provided by a practicing artist and seasoned attorney.

As both an artist and a lawyer, I understand that your creative practice isn’t just a passion - it’s your livelihood, your legacy, and sometimes, your most valuable asset. I offer strategic, informed legal support with an intuitive understanding of the art world and its nuances.

My Studio practice and portfolio.

My approach to law is shaped by the rhythms of the studio. I maintain an active art practice — primarily in mixed media painting, fine art/film photography, and textiles — that informs how I think, see, and advocate. The legal arguments and processes I build are grounded in a deep respect for creative process.
