*About Sloan Fine Art:
Alix Sloan opened Sloan Fine Art in January 2008. As director of the La Luz de Jesus Gallery in Los Angeles from 1991 through 1995, Alix Sloan worked with many artists including the Clayton Brothers, Judith Schaechter and Joe Coleman who went on to achieve critical and financial success. During that time she developed an affinity for work that is well crafted, thought-provoking and emotionally engaging.
From 1995 to 2001 she worked in film production, managing multi-million dollar budgets and began a freelance career as an art, marketing and advertising writer.
Sloan returned to the arts full time as a consultant, curator and private dealer in 2001.
Sloan relocated to New York from Los Angeles in 2005 to join forces with her cousin, New York based consultant and dealer Katherine Chapin. Their intention was to work together as consultants and eventually open a gallery space of their own. Tragically, Chapin became ill shortly after they got started and passed away in late 2007. With the encouragement and help of Chapin, family, friends, colleagues, and clients, Sloan made the decision to move forward on her own and opened Sloan Fine Art in late January 2008. She hopes to create a platform where her artists are encouraged and supported, and visitors from all walks of life - be they serious collectors or curious observers - feel welcome and inspired.
