Background & Upbringing
Raised in Manhattan’s Upper East Side, Veronica grew up in a family that regularly attended art galas, philanthropic events, and private museum exhibitions. Both her parents worked in the art world—her mother was a gallery owner and her father a curator at a prestigious museum.
Education
She attended a private preparatory school in Manhattan, then pursued an undergraduate degree in Art History at Columbia University. Veronica later completed a Master’s in Museum Studies at the University of Oxford in the UK.
Professional Background
Initially starting as an assistant curator in a small contemporary art museum, she soon launched her own boutique publishing imprint focused on art criticism and cultural explorations. Her writing often reflects on the interplay between visual culture and modern romance, mixing insight from high-end art circles with broader social commentary.
Places Lived
Primarily Manhattan, with a few years in London and Oxford for her graduate studies and museum collaborations. She’s also spent summers in the South of France and Tuscany, engaging in art residencies.
Influences
Steeped in classic European art (Monet, Degas) and American modernists like Georgia O’Keeffe, Veronica’s literary inspirations range from Edith Wharton to Virginia Woolf. Musically, she loves opera and jazz, frequently citing Ella Fitzgerald and Nina Simone as catalysts for her reflective moods. Her perspective on culture and sophistication is shaped by the tension she experiences between exclusive, old-world art scenes and the more democratized, contemporary art world.
