ABOUT KATIE
Katie has been with BLUE since the beginning, bringing with her international art world experience at leading auction houses and galleries. She is primarily interested in contemporary practices and holds a first-class Masters from New York University, Tisch School of the Arts.
BLUE believes that the actions we take over the next decade could be the key to avoiding climate disaster, which is why we are donating 5% of all BLUE’s profits to World Land Trust, to which Sir David Attenborough became official Patron in 2003
