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 over 20 years of experience in contemporary art ranging in fields of sales, advising, education and non-profit.  She has served alongside Kathryn Markel as Director since 2004.  In her tenure with the gallery, she has work with more than 100 artists, curated over 125 exhibitions, worked with a clientele of 1000’s of collectors, consultants, and corporations, and written extensively about contemporary art.  Debra holds a B.F.A. in studio art with a concentration in Installation Art, and a M.A. in Contemporary Art History from Sotheby’s Institute, London.  She currently lives in New Jersey with her husband, Lulu (the gallery mascot) and two very active kids.

Eleanor has been working in the New York art world for the past three years.  She holds a B.A. in Art and English from Scripps Collge.  

Lulu has 11+ years of artworld experience, working mainly at KMFA. Her exemplary customer service skills have made her an asset to our gallery.
