Team

I opened my art gallery,  Kathryn Markel Fine Arts,  in 1975. As a dealer, I have spent my career trying to make art accessible to the regular person, trying to sell art that is reasonably priced, and trying to present art as a joy rather than an obscure, intellectual language that speaks only to an elite. 

Debra Marcoux has served alongside Kathryn Markel as Director since 2004.  In her tenure with the gallery, she has work with 100's of talented artists, curated 100's of exhibitions, worked with a clientele of 1000’s of collectors, consultants, and corporations, and written extensively about contemporary art.  Debra holds a M.A. in Contemporary Art History from Sotheby’s Institute, London.  She currently lives in New Jersey with her husband and two very active kids.

Abbie knew she would pursue a career in the arts from a very young age. Growing up in South Carolina, she was fascinated by cities and the art that filled them. At the age of seventeen, she moved to New York City to pursue a Fine Arts degree at the Fashion Institute of Technology. She has since worked in galleries, museums, and art advisories in Charlotte, NC and New York City. 

Lulu has sadly passed but we remember her here to honor her 14+ years of artworld experience and exemplary customer service skills.  She was a beautiful asset to our gallery and forever touched our lives and many of our visitors.
