Rights & Reproductions Consulting

I'm an intellectual property and rights specialist with over a decade of experience in art copyright, image licensing, and rights management. I work with galleries, museums, publishers, artist estates, film and media companies, and anyone else who needs image rights handled properly.

I'm available for project-based and ongoing engagements.

What I do

Publishing rights
image research, clearance, and final credit compliance, from artist estates and foundations to third-party image holders
Copyright research and risk assessment
including fair use, public domain, and rights of publicity
License negotiation and agreement drafting
with rights holders, artists, and their representatives
Copyright risk advisory
reviewing proposed uses before publication or reproduction, and flagging issues before they become problems

Background

I've worked in rights across the art world and entertainment industry — VAGA, Dia Art Foundation, Paramount Global, and most recently David Zwirner. I hold an MA in art history and bring a rigorous, holistic approach to every project.

Get in touch.

No question is too small and no project is too large. If you have something specific in mind — or just a question you're not sure how to answer — feel free to reach out.
