What's the biggest perk of your job?
"Meeting and getting to know fascinating people who are incredibly generous and committed to making LACMA one of the world's greatest museums."

Do you paint/sculpt/draw/etc.? If so, what's your medium and style? Ideal subject?
"No! Although, I'm rather particular about how I wrap gifts. I don't know if it exactly counts as art, but I'm very conscious of every decision that goes into presenting a gift. I never wrap anything without double-stick tape and have developed a collection of ribbons with varied textures and colors."

Any burgeoning artists you'd recommend our readers should invest in now before the prices go through the roof?
"Rather than following names, I would encourage new collectors to see and study as much as possible so they develop their own instincts and taste. You have to love what you collect."
