I am pleased to provide a heartfelt recommendation for Trudi Curtis of Colville Gallery. During a particularly challenging period following the passing of my Uncle, who had an extensive art collection, Trudi became an invaluable support managing the complete auction process of his valuable possessions.
Her approach was refreshingly professional yet empathetic; she never once felt pushy. Instead, she provided a clear timeline for the process, ensuring I was informed and comfortable every step of the way. Trudi meticulously cataloged and valued a diverse array of artworks, including paintings, photographs, lithographs, sculptures, tribal art, vases, statues, etc.

From collecting and transporting all items to her facilities, to overseeing the auction and ensuring the safe transfer of items to the successful bidders, Trudi handled every detail seamlessly.

In future Ill seek these artists out at...
