Suave Piero Piero Spadaro

A native San Franciscan, Piero first visited HANG ART in 1999 as part of an art class, and it wasn't long before he became a full-blown art addict. Piero first offered us his talents as an intern, and now works for the gallery on his breaks from the Maryland Institute College of Art, where he is pursuing a bachelor's degree in printmaking. A whiz with experimental techniques and materials, Piero is the man to ask if you're curious about how a work of art was made.
 
Suave Piero Erica Willingham

Erica moved to San Francisco in 2004 after graduating from the University of Texas with a degree in Art History. She remains true to her Texas roots but admires San Francisco’s rich culture and beautiful surrounding landscape. After working in the commercial furnishings industry for over three years, Erica recently changed her career path to pursue her passion for art. Erica comes to HANG ART with interest in absorbing the contemporary art scene, interacting with practicing artists, and learning the ropes of gallery management, without neglecting her side business in cheese tasting.
 
coming soonish Heather Neumann

Heather relocated to San Francisco from her native Southern California in 2006 to pursue a career in the arts. She is a graduate of the art history program at UCLA, and comes to Hang Art with experience in styling, photography, and casting. Because of her obsession with vintage clothing and Mid Century Furniture, Heather is drawn to contemporary art with a retro feel. The patience and tenacity required to shop vintage serves her clients well, because she has a knack for finding the perfect piece of artwork for anyone. If you're looking for something to hang above your Eames Lounger, Heather is your girl.
 
Mister Rogers Andrew Rogers

Andrew joined HANG in 2008 with a freshly minted MFA in his hot little hand from Cranbrook Academy of Art. Andrew spends his time at the gallery making sure that the website is up to date, the postcards look cool, and all the computers are humming along. In his free time he makes his own paintings, sculptures, and photographs in his kitchen in San Francisco.
