Leslie Langford is an art advisor whose clients range from homeowners looking to build a thoughtful collection to commercial spaces looking to communicate their brand and enliven their workspaces.

Leslie broke from the corporate world to start her advisory firm after 15 years as a marketing executive who spent her spare time frequenting international art fairs, museums and galleries.  Her years working with the Tampa Museum of Art and Wendover Art Group exposed her to hundreds of artists globally and also offered her a deeper understanding of the business of art. Her experience at Bank of America, Dell and Live Nation honed her business and finance skills. Leslie has worked extensively with interior designers and collectors – herself a collector for over 20 years – which allows her insight into why and when people buy art.  For some, it is purely a branding or asset protection decision. For others, it is emotional.  Leslie’s understanding of the art world, combined with her business experience, offer a unique perspective to her clients. 

Leslie holds a Bachelor of Arts from Vanderbilt University and a Master of Business Administration from The University of Texas at Austin McCombs School of Business. Her studies included time abroad at St. John’s College – University of Oxford, in Aix-en-Provence, France and in Cuernavaca, Mexico.
