It’s Thursday morning. What’s the scene at your workplace?
I own and direct a contemporary art gallery in Allapattah. It’s always exciting to walk into the gallery and revisit each of the exhibitions as I make my way back to my office. Reviewing emails, discussing logistics, upcoming shows and art fairs is an ongoing endeavor. Of course, interacting with visitors always makes my time at the gallery worthwhile.

What’s on the agenda for today?
Working on programming for Miami Art Week, both at the gallery and our booth at Design Miami. We have a public and private opening planned, various scheduled groups, and a press event. For the fair we’re working out fabrication and logistics details.

Any bar or restaurant plans today, tonight, this weekend?
Tonight, I’m meeting clients at the gallery, then heading over to Morgan’s for dinner. Later in the week, I’m meeting a group of ladies at the rooftop bar at Klaw for happy hour (one of my favorite spots). This weekend is the annual fundraiser at the Bakehouse followed the next night with the Art of the Party Gala at the Pérez Art Museum Miami. So: lots of eating and socializing.

Any weekend getaways?
I just returned from a wonderful weekend with one of my daughters at Wildflower Farms in upstate New York. So refreshing!

What was your last great vacation?
I was in Venice for the Biennale. It was amazing. I also got to visit the Island of Murano and see the glass studios first hand. Just loved it.
