I founded Galerie Provenance in 2017 after leaving a lengthy career in the television business. My husband and I built our family home in Los Angeles and in the process I discovered a passion for artifacts with rich history. Not only did I love the aesthetic, design and patina of older pieces, but I was moved by the tales they told. Whether a pair of 1960’s Charlotte Perriand stools from Les Arcs ski resort in France or a three hundred year old Swedish root bowl - these pieces have a story. They have a past. They have soul. Whose hands have touched them? What events have transpired around them over the decades and centuries? New is wonderful too, but there’s something special about a piece with history that’s hard to replicate. Beauty can take many forms. I believe in achieving harmony between new and old, flawless and flawed. In the Japanese aesthetic, finding beauty in imperfection is known as wabi-sabi.

I carry a select and curated inventory in Los Angeles and work with designers, private clients and collectors to source unique and one-of-a kind artifacts from Europe.
