THANK YOU for following this very nerdy art blog and for helping make 2019 an incredible year. I am so excited to share all the new and wonderful things planned for 2020, but in the meantime… HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Read more "Happy Holidays!"I am thrilled to finally announce my new lecture series debuting Spring 2020 – Modern Art Madness vol.2! Modern Art is such an epic movement it surely cannot be contained to just one lecture series. This spring I will explore a whole host of artists who played significant roles in the Modern Art movement and […]
Read more "Modern Art Madness vol. 2!"I am so pleased to once again be invited to participate in this annual show at The Barefoot Spa. It is the most colorful, most exuberant and most joyful art show of the year and it opens this Saturday! I will have five paintings in this show inspired by my love of pop culture. Art […]
Read more "Art That Makes Me Smile!"If you haven’t seen Edward Steichen: In Exaltation of Flowers, you only have about a month left to check out this very interesting exhibition at the Orlando Museum of Art. While Steichen was primarily known for his photographs (see the corresponding photography exhibition at the Mennello Museum of American Art), the OMA has on display […]
Read more "Edward Steichen at the OMA"Spirals in art have fascinated me for quite a while now and while I’m not exactly sure why, I may have come a bit closer to discovering what draws me to them.

Read more "The Book of Kells – Part 3"While taking photos of The Book of Kells is forbidden (photos are not even allowed in the room where the book is displayed), it was an amazing experience, even if there is no photographic evidence, as is required for life in the 21st century. That said, this museum nerd confirms that the exhibition space was […]
Read more "The Book of Kells – Part 2"Another item at the very top of my “Must See in Ireland” list was The Book of Kells. The Book of Kells is a Gospel Book, which means it contains the first four books of the New Testament of the Christian Bible. These four books were written by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John (followers of […]
Read more "The Book of Kells – Part 1"Not far from the Newgrange site is another passage tomb – Knowth. The Knowth site is interesting in that it is one large mound surrounded by a number of smaller mounds. We were allowed to go inside the large, central mound, but only so far as the innermost chambers and the passage itself is beginning […]
Read more "Knowth"I have returned from my travels to The Emerald Isle and I have so many wonderful things to share – the first being my visit to Newgrange. Visiting this ancient site was at the very top of my list of things I had to do while in Ireland and I can assure you, it did […]
Read more "Newgrange"THANK YOU to all those who joined me in the pumpkin patch at St. Luke’s UMC last week for a painting party. I love seeing what happens when you make art supplies available to children… and adults! Each pumpkin that left the patch that night was a true masterpiece. THANK YOU to everyone who attended […]
