ABOUT US
NCTRN draws its name from nocturnes, works of art historically devoted to the twilight hours. We approach fine art procurement as an offering of respite from the waking world, approaching placement like the careful construction of an altar: a dedicated doorway into a personalized realm. Our process is not only entirely collaborative, but centered on lived experience, emotional resonance, and sensibility.Working with seasoned collectors and first-time buyers alike, NCTRN advises on the acquisition and development of art collections for residential and commercial spaces. We believe collecting is both an intellectual and deeply personal pursuit, one rooted in trust, dialogue, and lasting relationships. Combining curatorial precision with informed market insight, we guide clients through every stage of the acquisition process with confidence and discretion, helping build collections that are thoughtful, enduring, and distinctly their own.

Originally from Portland, Oregon, Bianchi is a Los Angeles–based art advisor and curator. Over the past decade, she has served as Director of Galerie XII and Speedy Gallery, overseeing private sales, collection development, artist relations, curatorial projects including collaborations with C24 Gallery, and international art fairs across Los Angeles, New York, Paris, and Tokyo. Mentored by Atsushi Fukuda, she has cultivated an approach led by connection, intuition, and an understanding of how art is felt as much as it is seen.
