Tracy Knish, Art Consultant

I have a passion for fine art & fine food. My art career began in Maui, while working at the Lahaina Galleries. After relocating to Bend in 2006, I worked as an art consultant while pursuing a degree in the culinary arts from Cascade Culinary Institute. Working at Mockingbird and Peterson/Roth Galleries gives me the good fortune to share my love of art on a daily basis and my love of food for First Fridays and special events.

Lindy Peterson, Art Consultant

I come from a family with a long history in the art business. For the last 40 years I have had the incredible pleasure and privilege to meet and assist the nicest people in their purchases of fine art. I have worked many years in the Scottsdale art market and now find myself enjoying Bend's wonderful art scene. It is a joy to work at Mockingbird and share my love of art with all of you.

Krissy Sonniksen, Office Manager

I have been surrounded by art for as long as I can remember and I have always been a sponge ready to absorb and engage. My uncle is a fine artist, and the gallery scene has been a familiar place since I was a young child. I received a B.A. in Art History from the University of Oregon and postgraduate degree in Art History, Theory and Display from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. Alongside the art world, I was a competitive runner for 23 years and ran collegiate cross country and track at U of O and the University of East Anglia. The last 5 years I’ve been working in the historical museum field but happy to get back to my roots and spend lovely days in the gallery space.  I look forward to sharing the great talent that is exhibited at both PCA and Mockingbird and helping others to enjoy the wonder that is a great work of art.
