Carrie has bags of experience , having delivered art consultancy over the last 13 years in Belfast, London and New York. Born in Belfast, Carrie Neely moved to London in 1997 after finishing her degree in Visual Communications at the University of Ulster to start her art consulting career. During her 10 years in the London and New York art world, Carrie worked with some of the worlds’ top named artists, dealers and galleries including Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons, Charles Saatchi, Eyestorm, Magnum Photography, Rankin and David Bailey. She also ran her own art gallery in Bloomsbury, next to the British Museum. Her past client list includes Diesel, Reebok, Sony BMG, Selfridges, Olympus, Agnes B, Hewlett Packard, Donna Karan, Hiscox, Fortnum and Mason, Based Upon, David Collins and Candy & Candy, as well as many high profile individuals and celebrities.   Carrie started Carrie Neely Contemporary Art in Belfast in 2009, with the aim of helping emerging local artists make a name for themselves as well as selling works by the more established Irish artists, giving clients the choice of local, as well as internationally renowned, artists. Carrie wanted to create an offering that was different for Northern Ireland: identifying exactly what clients needed. Carrie buys and commission art independently from artists, galleries and dealers locally, and as she has no stock to sell, can offer clients a wider choice and at the best prices.
