Hauntingly Good Art

Posted on by The Wandering Art Historian

I am so pleased to share that I have returned to in-person classes and lecturing! My last lecture with a large group of people took place in February 2020, just before the pandemic lockdown. Since then, I have had to rely on Zoom, The Wandering Art Historian blog and my YouTube channel to continue my livelihood of talking to people about art. I am so grateful to all of you who have supported me on this crazy journey!

Thankfully, 2022 has provided me with a few opportunities to reconnect with folks in person. You may recall that back in May I gave my Dirty Art History presentation at the Orlando Fringe Festival on behalf of Visual Fringe. That presentation is now on my YouTube channel for you to watch at your convenience.

The Leesburg Center for the Arts has been very welcoming to me and so far this year I have been able to offer a variety of presentations including a free art talk on the Florida Highwaymen and a four-week class titled A Survey of 20th Century Art.

I am thrilled to announce my next in-person event which sees two of my favorite things – Halloween and art – come together for one frighteningly fun and terrifyingly terrific presentation. Join me for…

This FREE event takes place on Wednesday, October 26th at 6:00pm and is hosted by the Leesburg Center for the Arts.

Celebrate spooky season with a look at the macabre in art!  Together we will discuss panicked paintings, an amazing arachnid, scary skulls and a dancing skeleton thrown in for good measure.  Plus, we will explore the haunting possibility that Jack the Ripper may have been an artist.  Join us for a very special evening of no tricks and only treats!

I am writer and artist with a degree in art history who loves to talk to people about art. I have spent the last seven years building up The Wandering Art Historian “brand” as a way to connect with people who want to learn more about art. I give lectures and presentations and teach classes and host book club discussions with a creative or artistic connection. I also write about local artists, events, museums, and exhibitions to promote the arts in Central Florida. In 2021, I had a creative crisis. I struggled with authenticity in the art making process. I decided to make myself vulnerable and find out what a real, genuine Adrienne H. Lee artwork would look like. The process was challenging and emotional and revelatory. I learned that if necessity is the mother of invention, then authenticity is the mother of reinvention. I reinvented myself and learned an entirely new medium. The resulting artwork surprised me, and it will surprise you, too. Some people wish for a fairytale ending. For me, the fairy tale is only the beginning.
