MEET THE FOUNDER

William Skeet Jiggetts

William Skeet Jiggetts has been collecting art for over thirty years, starting with an original work by Lucien Crump. His journey evolved significantly with the mentorship of renowned collector Ron Ollie, who inspired him not only to collect, but to engage in arts patronage and build relationships with emerging and contemporary artists. Currently, Mr Jiggetts serves as a trustee and board member for several visual fine arts organizations.
