our story
Suzi and Kate met and became fast friends a decade ago as art consultants.
They have a joint love in seeing others fulfilled – be it clients finding art that inspires or artists bringing visions to fruition. They believe in the incredible, intangible, and transformative power of art. Alchemy Station was founded to pursue just that; to spread the passion, wonder, and connection that art brings out in all of us.
