I have been an art collector for over 20 years, and Art has a living spirit and I try to connect to it.
I have learned how personal art really is. My collection
includes art from around the world that speaks to me for Marine Maurin de Carnac
diferent reasons. I buy what makes me smile. The range Art Collector
of art by African-American artists is so incredible and Paris, France
varied that I love fnding emerging artists as well as new
pieces from the “masters.” Encouraged by my mother,
I developed a passion for the arts at an early age.
I was exposed to museums, galleries, theatre and
classical concerts. Growing up, I was surrounded by my
uncle’s art (a visual artist in New York) who gave me my
frst piece of original art. Two of my brothers are artists
in their own right.
October Gallery has found a way to bring artists from
around the world under one roof, where art lovers can
come out and see the best that African-American artists
have to ofer.
