I am the custodian of the private studio-based collection of artwork created by David Bethuel Jamieson, which I have stewarded since the artist’s death from AIDS-related causes in 1992; and the President of the Lily and Earle M. Pilgrim Art Foundation.
Born and raised on a farm in northern Vermont, in 1988 I graduated from the University of Vermont with a BA in French and English Literature. While at the UVM, I worked at the Robert Hull Fleming Museum and in the summers was an active volunteer at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum; over the years I have continued relationships with both institutions. In addition, I have worked on projects and exhibitions with Very Special Arts, the Charles Sumner Museum and Archives, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, and the Art in Embassies Program. In 1998 I pursued Appraisal Studies at George Washington University and began a long relationship as Research Assistant for Adams Davidson Galleries.
I am a grantee of the Walbridge Trust, a private trust established by Charles N. Mason, Jr., dedicated to the display of artwork by David Bethuel Jamieson. The Walbridge Trust supports the last studio and home of the artist, located in Mount Pleasant, Washington, DC and is open to the public by appointment. For more information, please visit the Studio House at Walbridge, www.davidbethueljamieson.com, and www.laempaf.org.
