Lara works with an international client base to provide expertise and guidance to those new to collecting and those who have been collecting for generations.
Her passion and deeply seeded interest for fine art was instilled at a very young age through her mother, Anne Wehrley Björk, a practicing artist, and being raised in a collecting household.
