At Otomys, there is enormous pleasure taken in watching creative practices unfold, in being present for the long arc of an artist's development, and in sustaining the deep, lasting connections with both artists and collectors. The team brings to the gallery a remarkable breadth of perspective, skill and experience drawn from across creative industries, and it is this collective richness that is reflected in everything Otomys does.
The differences in individual approach and sensibility have proven wonderfully generative. Each person works to their particular strengths, and yet the team is necessarily fluid, collaborating freely across roles to realise the exhibition programme and fulfil the demands of the consulting practice. It is a way of working that keeps the gallery nimble, responsive, and alive.
Much of the energy that powers Otomys goes not into the visible work of running a gallery, but into the quieter, more sustaining work of relationships - the conversations, the introductions and the careful cultivation of trust over time. Megan Dicks works closely with artists, nurturing their careers and bringing their practices to wider and more appreciative audiences. Hannah Abbott manages sales and facilitates the meaningful, often transformative encounters between collectors and works of art. Merrie Beasley, as art consultant, guides clients through the considered process of building collections that truly align with their aspirations and vision. And holding the whole enterprise together with equal care is Liesl Joyce, who manages the accounts, coordinates with suppliers, and serves as a warm and trusted point of contact for artists and buyers alike.
Running parallel to the gallery, the Otomys consultancy extends this collective expertise outward, offering artist-centred strategies, to answer the most diverse and particular of briefs. Nothing at Otomys stands still. There is always more to be done, more to be discovered, more to be made possible.
