As a private art dealer and art advisor, Christina May Ho's perception of art and knowledge of blue-chip investments is backed with extensive experience in the art field.
From her time at Christie's Auction House to working with artists in the Venice Biennale, to frequent attendance of the world's top art fairs, it is her priority to provide her clients with the most up to date pulse on the art market. When it comes to the “off-market” world of private sales and art collections, she is dialed in.
Between her time in NYC and Hong Kong, her focus is to bring the best of what these markets offer to Hawaiʻi. As an artist herself, she has an attuned sensibility to collecting contemporary artists of Hawaiʻi and enjoys working with clients who have an interest in achieving a delicate balance of both local trends and the international art market.

Drawing from my experience in both the New York City and Hong Kong art markets, I have found Hawaiʻi to be the perfect confluence.
Bridging my insight into Western and rapidly rising Eastern art markets, I believe Hawai ʻi has the potential to be a nexus from which unique and tasteful art collections are allowed to emerge. I am grateful to have the experience and perspective to support and guide this process.
