Aurelia is here to support you with your unique art buying, selling and collecting needs. During her 14 years working in a commercial art gallery in Calgary, our founder, Megan Paterson, noticed that there are far too many people who want to buy art and are too intimidated or overwhelmed by the market to get started. We're an art advisory that aims to educate and empower our clients so they can navigate the art market with confidence. Additionally, working with an art consulting service will save you your precious time and money so you can spend them on what's important to you.

At Aurelia, our vision is to ensure that anyone who wants to engage with the art world feels confident, empowered, and supported. We remove the opacity the industry is known for while supporting and educating our clients in their unique and specific goals.
