About

Jennifer "Jennie" Bird brings a lifetime of exposure to antiques and art, continuing in the family tradition of Modernism Gallery, consultant for Modernsim.com and as President & Lead Appraiser of Emmett Appraisal & Consulting Group. She brings a background in the legal field as she worked for over ten years as a paralegal. Employment at Books and Books, an independent bookstore in Coral Gables, Florida, and running "Gables, Etc." an online eBay store, gave her the experience in research and valuation of rare and antiquarian books.  Emmett Appraisal & Consulting Group performs several estate and estate planning appraisals each year as well as reports to obtain insurance coverage, damage and loss claims including loss of value reports after repair, charitable donation, probate and partnership dissolution or equitable distribution appraisals. Appraisals are mostly in Florida, however, will go wherever needed. 

At MODERNISM.COM Jennifer helps curate the additions to the site.

Opportunities to travel to Napa and Sonoma, California, France and Spain, earned her the ability to learn about wine valuation. Having been raised in the very Latin domiated Miami and as an exchange student in Buenos Aires, Argentina, she was able to become fluent in Spanish. 

Jennie is also a passionate collector of "pop culture" with a focus in Disney animation art and collectibles aka "Disneyana". She also grew up in and around the business of Modernism Gallery and has a vast knowledge of Art Deco and Modern Design.
