Naomi will give an introduction to art finance and art lending and will discuss Athena’s unique approach as a specialized, independent firm that provides financial solutions to private collectors, galleries, family trusts, and artist foundations and estates who want to access the value of the works of art they hold, but do not wish to sell them.

Naomi has 30+ years of experience in the art and finance industries and as a leader in identifying and crafting proactive business development opportunities. As Managing Director at Athena Art Finance, Naomi works with clients to develop art-secured loans and financial strategies, cultivates and maintains partnerships, and creates strategic business opportunities for Athena’s clients.
