Art Appraiser

In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with art appraiser Shelley Hall.  Shelly has a unique perspective on the art world given her experiences as an artist, gallery owner, and now art appraiser handling multi-million dollars worth of artwork.  Shelley shared some real pearls of wisdom on pricing, prints, and value. Personally, I learned a lot during this session and I’m sure you will too.
