Andrew James “Drew” Thomas is a dedicated fine arts professional with more than twenty-five years experience, specializing in collections management and presentation for photographs and works on paper.
As a visually motivated person, the power of imagery to inform and inspire prompted Drew to develop a diverse array of talents within the orbit of the fine art industry. After a foundation in photography and museum studies at Ohio Wesleyan University, he began his career at Howard Greenberg Gallery, divising efficient solutions for logistics and white-glove installation of high value fine art objects. With the advent of digital asset management software, Drew quickly proved his merit by implementing a comprehensive bar-code identification system to track the extraordinarily dynamic physical inventory of more than 30,000 works. In the years since, he has effectively leveraged an aptitude for information technology to organize high volume libraries of digital assets and physical collections, administer content, and obtain superior quality results from imaging hardware.
Never hesitating to step up to new challenges, Drew has frequently applied his skills to a variety of endeavors related to digital and traditional photographic processes. Clients have included galleries, private collectors, and corporations. His portrait photography has been published in the Wall Street Journal and a complex installation of photographs in a Soho loft complemented an article for Gotham magazine. Now with ArtSystems, he provides expert data administration and professional services for clients of the world leader in art management software; always ready to advance the cohesion of arts, technology, and business.
