MEETING THE ARTBARCS MANAGEMENT TEAM
The ArtBarcs Team
The ArtBarcs team includes an impressive array of globally renowned investors, artists, collectors, critics, Ph.D. researchers,
government leaders, intellectual property experts, and others who collectively form the backbone of ArtBarcs and its Art Recommendation Technology (ART).
Lucy Q. Liu - Chief Curator
Lucy is a painter of romantic landscapes and seascapes who has been working extensively to
develop a unique style of expression that focuses on colors and emotions.
As the director of the Florsheim Mansion Artist In Residence Program, which she co-founded in 2007, Lucy worked closely with numerous artists,
and became more acutely aware of the difficulties artists face. With her extensive business consulting
background and industry knowledge in management and finance (a native of China, Lucy was educated in
Europe and US where she earned her MBA and MSc. in Finance), Lucy was able to see solutions by having
one foot in the art scene, and another in the business community.
