Olga Korper found her calling as the director of the Olga Korper Gallery located in an old foundry in Toronto's west end twenty-five years ago. Her living space is an extension of the gallery. When she hosts parties celebrating the artists she represents, she opens the sliding door in her kitchen which divides her home from her gallery allowing guests to move between the spaces. Olga says that "art is life, they are one in the same" and that "there are no borders between my private life and my life as a dealer". While having one's private life intertwined so deeply with work isn't for everyone, we should all be so lucky to be as passionate about our craft as Olga is.
