Meet The Team

Lillian Davies

Gallery Manager

Serving as a Gallery Manager in Sun Valley, she demonstrates proficiency in organizational workflows, operations management, and strategic communication. Her forte lies in her ability to connect diverse audiences with art, making every gallery visit an enriching experience. Lillian's adeptness in operations and her passion for community engagement ensure that art is not just displayed, but also effectively integrated into the broader cultural dialogue of the community. Her commitment to the arts fosters both appreciation and meaningful conversations.

Jane Duckworth

Art Consultant

Originally from Montreal, Jane studied Studio Arts in CEGEP and continued taking art history courses throughout her Bachelor's degree at McGill University. Since graduating, she's spent time painting at the Montreal Art Centre and travelling, by doing painting workaways.

Naturally drawn to art, Jane has joined our team eager to be more involved in the art world and learn from those in it.

"Art and communication are meaningful to me for similar reasons, they allow us to understand and connect with one another more deeply.”

Tara Wolters

COO

Tara grew up on Vancouver Island and eventually landed in Vancouver to head to Business School. Craving the small town feel again, she moved up to Squamish and started working at Off Piste Fine Arts Ltd (DBA: Sun Valley Contemporary Gallery) as our COO. Bringing over 20 years of experience in luxury retail, distribution and management, she is excited to explore her new direction in the art world.

Andria Friesen

Advisory Board

With over 35 years of experience as a gallery owner, Andria's approach is intimate; she's kept a tight roster of artists, ensuring she understands the narratives of each artwork. Andria believes in the importance of the backstory, and it's this unique perspective that's formed the core of her previous gallery's mission in Ketchum and Seattle (Friesen Gallery). Andria has graciously accepted working as an advisor for the Sun Valley Contemporary Gallery.

In 2009 Andria composed and published Speak For The Trees. A 200-page hardcover book featuring 76 important artists from around the world and poignant offerings by 70+ significant authors throughout history.
