Meet the Team: At Carousel Fine Art

Hanna Raus, born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, brings a personalized approach to her role as an gallery manager. With a deep understanding of how art resonates uniquely with individuals, Hanna is able to identify the perfect pieces that align with her clients' tastes. Her expertise goes beyond recommending artworks—she collaborates with clients to create thoughtfully curated spaces. 

Hanna believes that collecting art is a deeply personal journey, one that thrives on trust and connection. Whether guiding seasoned collectors or assisting those just beginning their journey, Hanna’s dedication ensures each client finds pieces that hold meaningful connections.

Born and raised in the Peach State, Jonah Raus has always had an affinity to all things creative. He attended Benedictine College where he received a football scholarship and studied marketing. Upon graduating, he found himself at the center of corporate infrastructure as a senior copywriter and yet couldn’t shake the feeling that life was missing something.

For him, the goal has always been to pioneer seismic levels of impact. Through art, he has found just that. His true speciality is understanding both the collector and the space at hand. His eye for detail is nothing short of meticulous. He’s able to visualize what could be, rather than what is, allowing for unthinkable curations to take shape. Using his knack for wordplay, he brings his own fresh and clever voice to the art world.

At the end of the day, Jonah is in the business of harmonious engagements that ooze impact, instill action and turn moments into memories. Jonah is someone who dreams big and believes in making history, not repeating it. He is insatiably curious and unapologetically devoted to delivering greatness to all he advises.

The recipient of the Scholastics Gold Key award for photography in high school, he went on to be a proud alumni of the Herron School of Art and Design in Indianapolis. He has been a contributing artist to the Free-People Theater Company in Christchurch, New Zealand, along with contributions to the Arts in the broader Indianapolis Arts community since 2007, and working as a Gallery Consultant & painting assistant around Seoul, South Korea.

Including managing the FRAME Art Fair in Basel, Switzerland; operating a boutique, white-glove art handling company; and curating and organizing exhibitions in Chicago, Illinois, and Busan, South Korea. 

Leveraging his complex knowledge and experience of art and the art world, he is an optimistic, enthusiastic, and outspoken promoter of the Arts. Believing to represent art with empathy and passion. “I want to create an environment where everyone feels welcome and at ease. Oftentimes art can be a deeply moving and emotional communication, and we're all able to receive that a little better if we feel like we're among friends.”

Andrea Lizarralde, originally from Tampa, FL, moved from Atlanta to Miami to continue pursuing her career in art, a passion she has carried since childhood. She holds a BA in Art with a concentration in Art History from Georgia State University, giving her a strong foundation in both the evolution of art and its cultural impact. For Andrea, art is not just something decorative; it’s a source of connection, emotion, and insight.

As an art advisor, Andrea brings this philosophy into every project she undertakes. She is dedicated to helping clients build meaningful, intentional collections that reflect their values, spark curiosity, and transform the spaces they live and work in. Through thoughtful curation and a genuine passion for connecting people with art, Andrea continues to advocate for the power of art to inspire, challenge, and enrich everyday life.

Ryan has been collecting art for as long as he’s been traveling, and he’s now been to more than 50 countries. Living in New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Lisbon, Sevilla, and Montevideo kept him close to working artists from around the world. Many pieces in his collection came home with him from those trips, most of them from emerging artists. He’s always been drawn to the moment when a voice is new and the work has something to say.

That instinct for spotting talent early runs through his career. In 2010, Ryan and his sister drove from Alaska to Argentina filming Journey of Action, a documentary series on young entrepreneurs. He went on to co-found LQD WiFi, a smart-city digital kiosk often described as the "iPad of the Streets," which Verizon acquired in 2016. He then spent years as a family-office managing director and venture partner backing early-stage founders. Whether it’s a startup or a canvas, the work has been the same: find people building something original, believe in them early, and help others see it.

Now he’s bringing that home. A Nashville native, Ryan joins Carousel Fine Art to help lead the gallery’s new Wedgewood Houston space. He’s excited to build a place where Nashville’s creative community can discover new work, meet the artists behind it, and start collections they’ll love for years.
