The Abigail Ogilvy Gallery team is thrilled to announce the appointment of our newest Gallery Associate, Ana Makharadze.
Ana received her BA in Psychology and Creative Writing and spent a decade in New York City working in public health research before transitioning into the arts. Her passion for creativity led her to Los Angeles, where she enrolled in an Art History program and began her gallery career.
Ana first joined Five Times Two as an intern and later spent two years at Giovanni’s Room as a Gallery Assistant, where she brought an imaginative and thoughtful perspective to the program.
“I became a big supporter of Abigail Ogilvy Gallery after visiting AURORA BOREALIS late last year. It was a show and an experience that LA absolutely needed. I remember thinking, I want to be a part of this.”
Since joining the team in April, Ana has helped launch the gallery’s summer group exhibition in Los Angeles, which showcases 20 artists from our program, both represented and new voices.
“It’s been such an enlightening and enriching month. I’m excited to continue building on the gallery’s vision. I hope to help make our identity feel even more tangible as we expand our program on the West Coast.”
Looking ahead, Ana hopes to curate exhibitions, support and uplift current artists, and cultivate a wider community through events, workshops, and participation in more art fairs.
“My goal is to help make Abigail Ogilvy Gallery an inviting, elevated, and intellectually rigorous space that resonates with both artists and audiences.”
If you are visiting our booth at Arrival Art Fair (North Adams, MA) in June, be sure to stop by and say hello to Ana! Otherwise, you can find her at AOG x LA.
