    Our story

    Five years ago I closed Page Blackie Gallery. Since then, I have had the enormous pleasure of representing some of New Zealand's leading artists, and working with private collectors, corporates and public collections to find their dream artworks. 

    I am proud to sell artworks on behalf of my artists. I have also continued my work from Page Blackie, sourcing exceptional historical paintings from collections with owners wishing to sell and have found new homes for these masterpieces. I get a huge amount of joy connecting artists with collectors and have decided I want to continue this help, by breaking down some of the barriers of the art world. 

    Verso was born from a need in the art market, for collectors who love art but don't visit dealer galleries frequently, and artists who have work in their studios, which they would like to see the light of day and find the art collector who will fall in love with it.
