The mission of the gallery is to present unique aesthetic experiences to the viewing public.

With an emphasis on outdoor site-specific sculpture, she worked with American sculptors Michael Heizer, Mark de Suvero, Richard Serra, Richard Nonas, and Allen Bertoldi. As a consultant to the African-American Museum, Hempstead, New York, she first noticed the work of self-taught artist Mary Whitfield and continues to represent and present her art of the slavery epoch of American history; and she did primary research on outsider artist Bill Traylor published in a monograph by Luise Ross Gallery, New York. She worked with Ray Johnson on independent projects including the Venice Biennale; artist book; and exhibition, More Works by Ray Johnson 1951-1991, at Goldie Paley Gallery-Moore College of Art and Design, Philadelphia.

As an archivist for Niki de Saint Phalle in Paris, France, her work was published in a monograph - one of five inaugural exhibitions at the Kunst-und-Ausstellungshalle, Bonn, Germany; and assisted Pontus Hulten with the organization of research on sculptor Jean Tinguely under the Niki archives.
