  • At Otomys, we take great pleasure in witnessing creative practices unfold and sustaining deep connections with both artists and collectors over time. Our team’s unique perspectives, skill sets, and experience in diverse creative industries are reflected in this commitment to our gallery and community.
    The differences in our individual approaches and sensibilities have proven wonderfully generative, and while we each work to our respective strengths, the team is necessarily dexterous, collaborating across roles to realise our exhibition programme and art consulting assignments.
     
  • Beyond the expected demands of running a gallery, much of our energy is dedicated to fostering the relationships that make our work so rewarding. Where Megan Dicks works closely with artists towards exhibitions, cultivating their careers and bringing their practices to wider audiences, Hannah Abbott manages sales and facilitates meaningful engagements between collectors and artworks. 
     
    With a focus on marketing, Hannah Wilson showcases our events in considered content that offers insight into artworks and affirms the value of artistic process. Merrie Beasley, in her position as art consultant, guides Otomys’ clients in curating collections that align with their aspirations. Supporting us in all these efforts is Liesl Joyce, who handles the accounts, coordinates with suppliers and is a touchpoint for artists and art buyers alike. Parallel to the gallery, Otomys’ art consultancy service extends our collective expertise to provide artist-centred strategies that answer diverse briefs.
