Nathan Beveridge
Exhibitions Manager

Nathan Beveridge likes to channel his OCD into perfectly arranged art on the walls of the galleries. He has a professional background in restoring British and European motorcycles and spends his spare time getting lost in the woods. 

Lydia Heins
Executive Director

My favorite artistic medium is fashion. It can be fun or serious, loud or quiet. I love good design and filling my closet with unique pieces. 

Natalie Laswell Hargreaves
Education Manager

I am an artist and educator focused on bringing art classes and programs to the community, with an emphasis on process and experimentation. I love pigeons, horror movies, and thrifting.

Rachel Paul
Collections Manager

When I’m not working, I enjoy quiet weekends crafting and spending time with my turtle.

Sierra Ward
Development Manager

Sierra is the Development Manager at Coos Art Museum, where she spends her days juggling fundraising, grants, social media, membership, and pretending her inbox isn’t scary. Outside of work, she loves movies, traveling, taking way too many photos, and planning her next trip before she’s even unpacked from the last one.
