ABOUT KATHARINE & EMILY

Born in Scotland and educated in England, Katharine began a career in publishing after receiving her MA in English and Italian Literature from The University of Edinburgh. She divided her time between Italy and London before moving to Mexico for several years where she authored The Cadogan Guide to Mexico and worked for a leading travel magazine. On her return to London, she became a Managing Director for Dorling Kindersley, publishers of the DK Travel Guides. She moved to the US in 1997, and travels back to the UK regularly.

After graduating from Vassar College, Emily continued her art history studies in New York while working in a gallery specializing in 20th-century art. Drawn to the artistic legacy and landscape of Eastern Long Island, she spent several years as a gallery director and art advisor there before establishing The Drawing Room in 2004 with Victoria Munroe. Her East Hampton gallery is recognized for its shows of Modern and Contemporary artists of the region.
