I am delighted to be collaborating with Maureen Pouder. Maureen is not only an award-winning and distinguished artist, but also a person of remarkable depth—dedicated, loyal, and endlessly engaging. Her work reflects both her artistic mastery and her ability to create pieces that resonate on a profoundly emotional level. My own professional path began in the financial sector, where I spent two decades at a boutique sales and trading firm. I was fortunate to work within an environment that valued integrity, collaboration, and building meaningful, lasting relationships. In 2019, I transitioned from that role to care for my parents and focus on raising my two children, now 18 and 16. Originally from Long Island, I have proudly called Rye, New York home for the past 16 years. It is a privilege to bring my experience in relationship-building and client engagement to support Maureen as we introduce her exceptional artwork to new collectors, collaborators, and creative communities. Together, our goal is to expand the reach of Maureen’s work, honoring her established reputation while cultivating fresh opportunities and meaningful partnerships. For us, Maureen Pouder Art is far more than a business—it is a shared vision and passion project devoted to creating art that inspires, connects, and endures. We look forward to sharing Maureen’s work with new audiences and forging relationships that reflect the same care and authenticity that define her art.
