Read more "The Whole Picture"A bit of sadness… On Saturday I presented my last lecture on Vincent van Gogh for a while. I am grateful to everyone who attended this lecture over the last seven months, whether in Winter Garden or Mount Dora, Florida. “Loving Vincent” did not win the Oscar Sunday night, but that was to be expected. […]
Read more "Your, Loving Vincent"ART should be challenging. ART should be disturbing. ART is not safe nor should it always be comforting. ART should be asking YOU, the viewer, difficult questions that may result in surprising answers. Take the plunge into Modern Art with me on Saturday, March 10th at SoBo Gallery. “Modern Art Madness!” hosted by the Winter […]
Read more "Please Disturb"Last week I added a few new pieces to my wall at Every Nook + Cranny, so if you’re visiting historic downtown Mount Dora, be sure to stop in and check it out. If my artwork isn’t your thing, keep wandering and keep looking because you won’t be disappointed! There are so many artists featured in […]

Join me at Ten Thousand Villages in Winter Park, FL for a unique and powerful crafting event focused on sharing joy and lifting up our fellow humans.

It […]
Read more "Thank you!"The 1980’s are back and in a BIG way! Shows like “Stranger Things” and “G.L.O.W.” are pure 80’s and even film remakes, like “It,” shift the story’s time period from the 1960’s to the 1980’s. The love for the 80’s is everywhere – especially in design – if you take the time to look for […]
Read more "The 1980’s"Whenever I present my lecture, “The Legacy of Vincent van Gogh,” I include a very telling and insightful exercise. First, I have the guests in attendance look at Van Gogh’s paintings “Starry Night” and “Sunflowers.” Then I ask them to shout out words describing how those paintings make them feel. I hear words like “cheerful,” […]
Read more "Starry, Starry Night"The Dali/Duchamp exhibit at The Dali Museum is exceptional! I will admit that I had no idea that Dali and Duchamp were lifelong friends and artistic cohorts. I knew that they moved in the same creative circles, but always viewed the two artists as polar opposites. This exhibition does a masterful job at explaining how two artists […]
