Thomas J Theakston

Helping artists build their brand and sell more art.

I started my first business online at 16.

Sixteen years in sales and business since — most of it learned the hard way, helping my dad run one venture after another. Different industry every time. Same lesson every time: nothing happens until someone sells something.

During lockdown I set up another online business — built it, ran it, then stepped away to go all in on the art industry.

Five years ago I brought that into the art world. I created, launched and sold my own collection — then joined Castle Fine Art as an Art Consultant, moved to New York to help set up their USA division, and returned to the UK as Head of Art Fairs and Internal Sales Training.

The numbers:

£4m+ in art sold personally
150 art consultants trained, responsible for £30m in sales
Curated and sold at Art Miami three years running

Today I'm Director of Art Advisory at Entitled1, and I founded Curated Art Agency — the agency built for artists and creatives, where I help artists build their brand, get more collectors, more enquiries and more sales.

$4M+sold in under 4 years

150+professionals trained

16years experience

100+satisfied clients

Just wanted to say thank you again for our 1:1 yesterday. It was super helpful — honestly one of the most valuable conversations I've had in a while. You gave me such clear direction and I'm already feeling more confident about my next steps.

I feel like I have a much better handle on where to focus right now, and how to price my originals without feeling weird about it. The examples you shared were super helpful too. I left the call feeling a lot more confident.

Thomas is great, and everything he said made sense and clarified my vision and thoughts. Very honest, warm, and made me feel like he was a friend helping me sell my art. He knows what he's talking about.
