The Infinite Being Playlist (or Songs to Write a Book to)

The cat’s finally out of the proverbial bag… I WROTE A BOOK! Here’s the announcement video that went live yesterday on The Wandering Art Historian YouTube channel and on my Instagram… The cover and title of said book will be revealed soon, but in the meantime, I thought I’d share this very special playlist which […]

I AM THE FIRE

In Nancy G. Heller’s seminal book, Women Artists, the author describes a pivotal moment in Georgia O’Keeffe’s artistic career. Approaching the age of 30, Georgia assembles all of her work, finds it lacking and promptly destroys everything. She was tired of repeating what had already been done, but she had to access a different part […]

Authenticity is the Mother of Reinvention

I struggled creatively throughout the pandemic. This isn’t a revelation. It’s a confession. Those who follow this blog or my social media may recall posts explaining how hard it was for me to pick up a paintbrush. It began with the lockdown, but the feeling persisted. I had to reinvent myself as an artistic individual […]

Art Walk: A Canvas of Expression at Disney Springs

It has been quite a while since I ventured anywhere near the House of Mouse, but on a recent visit to Disney Springs I went in search of something very special that I read about on their website. If you decide to go hunting for this incredible experience, keep your eyes peeled as it is […]

Pastel Society of Central Florida at the LCFA

On the heels of a fantastic and well-received fiber arts exhibition, the Leesburg Center for the Arts of Leesburg, FL brings yet another often overlooked medium into the spotlight. The Pastel Society of Central Florida’s member show – I Spy Something… Red! – is a delightful exploration of a medium used by artists for centuries […]

Artemisia Restored

I have had Artemisia Gentileschi on the brain as of late. One of the most talented and powerful figures in all of art history, she feels kind of timeless to me despite having lived more than four centuries ago. I think she’s a lot like Frida Kahlo in that way, or any other (art) historical […]

Hauntingly Good Art 2023

Due to unforeseen challenges, last year’s Hauntingly Good Art presentation at the Leesburg Center for the Arts was cancelled at the last minute. This was a heartbreaking experience to say the least. Thankfully, a lot can change in a year and Hauntingly Good Art was revived for Spooky Season 2023! Hauntingly Good Art (finally!) took […]
