Local read
Tabitha Caldwell Doby is an unclaimed FAIR profile in Houston with website-backed source evidence, a Fine art service category, and listed specialties in Art, Drawings, Engraving & Etching, Paintings, Sculpture, and ISA AM. Her ISA profile lists ISA membership since April 12, 2006, an MKG website link, office phone, consultant, estate evaluation, expert witness, and tax-deductible gift services, and appraisals of art, drawings, engraving and etching, paintings, and watercolors. The ISA and MKG pages both describe her as part of MKG Art Management; MKG identifies her as Partner and Director of Appraisals, with an MFA in Museum Studies/Museum Exhibition Planning and Design, pre-MKG work with the Library of Congress, The Barnes Foundation, The Philadelphia Arts Alliance, and The Academy of Natural Sciences, and MKG appraisal projects for major private collections and institutional or corporate clients. Treat this as a Houston fine-art appraisal lead first, especially for paintings, drawings, prints or multiples, sculpture, collections, insurance, estate, charitable contribution, equitable distribution, damage/loss, expert-witness, or tax-related report purposes, then confirm the current assignment scope and report needs directly.
MKG's appraisal-services page says the firm prepares fine-art and estate appraisal reports for insurance, estate tax, charitable contribution, damage/loss, and equitable distribution uses, with report features such as color photographs, cataloging, researched values, documented comparable sales, methodology, and valuation basis. FAIR still shows no public fee statement, no public USPAP education detail, and no claimed profile control.
Before outreach, identify the medium, artist, date, dimensions, condition, provenance, prior appraisals, purchase records, photographs, and collection context. Ask whether Tabitha Doby or another MKG appraiser will sign or manage the report, whether inspection is in person or remote, which value definition and intended users apply, what deadline controls the work, and whether fees are independent of value or sale outcome.
