Maura Brewer, a Los Angeles-based artist and academic, creates video works that expose the role of art in money laundering. Her 2021 piece *Private Client Services* demonstrates the laundering process, while *Offshore* (2024) serves as a satirical guide for artists navigating global finance, featuring locations like the Cayman Islands and Geneva Freeport. Her ongoing project *Leverage* examines art-backed loans through the case of collector Daniel Sundheim. Brewer also works as a private investigator and recently lost her home in the Eaton Fire.
