About Larissa Wild
With over 20 years experience as an art connoisseur, businesswoman, and art dealer, Larissa's passion for art began early in life. Art school provided her with a unique connection to the world; the creative process of taking a belief, an idea or a vision and turning it into something physical was magical. She received her degree in Fine Art at the National Art School, Sydney Australia in 2000. Larissa worked at the Australian Center for Contemporary Photography Museum hanging exhibitions and displaying her knowledge and expertise of each collection to visitors.
Moving to the USA, she used her position as Gallery Director for 6 years to connect to art and people. It was here that she was able to develop an understanding of the process of acquiring an art collection, and why people buy the art they do. In many ways, she see her role as a translator - creating a bridge for people to help them to get what they want by transforming their likes into tangible art.
Larissa is also a Certified Member of the International Society of Appraisers, with the Private Client Services Designation, and works with individuals, businesses, trusts and family offices to understand the true value of their art. She uses her extensive knowledge to make the appraisal process clear and informative.
