Gallery Director

Petra Wright grew up in Kassel, Germany:  Home to the Documenta International Art Festival, which launched some of the most provocative and influential artists of the 20th Century. This ample exposure laid the foundation for Petra’s interest in art, particularly the abstract and contemporary. An actor by profession, Petra received her BFA form NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, while working professionally on stage and in independent film. Ultimately her acting career brought Petra to Los Angeles, where she connected with Gloria Delson, in whom she found a kindred aesthetic spirit. Starting in 2004, Petra has served as Gloria’s right hand as Gallery Manager, and Curator. Following Gloria’s retirement, Petra took over as Director aiming to carry on the legacy of artist advocacy, allowing the gallery to reflect the evolving artistic landscape and sensibilities of our collective experience.
