Modern Art

I am currently working on a brand new, three-part lecture series that explores Marcel Duchamp, Dada and Modern Art. I have always loved Modern Art, but there were two key events that inspired me to produce a lecture series that delves a bit deeper into the motives and theories held by Modern artists. The first […]

“Destined for Greatness”

Today I am sharing an older piece that long ago found a home with someone else. This painting is titled “Destined for Greatness” and was included in the 3rd Annual Puppet Art Show a few years back here in Orlando, FL. It’s a small acrylic piece – 5″ x 7″ – but I feel like […]

Rollins Center for Lifelong Learning

I am pleased to announce that I am partnering with the Rollins College Center for Lifelong Learning! I was scheduled to offer classes this past fall, but the majority of classes were cancelled when the school lost its lease on the Lawrence building. Thankfully, they were able to reschedule for this spring. I am offering […]

“From Muse to Master” in Mount Dora, FL!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Hello friends and welcome to a brand new year of The Wandering Art Historian! I have my work cut out for me as I’ll be taking my own motto – “Have lecture, will travel!” – to a whole new level. This week I’ll be announcing a bunch of new lectures and events, […]

Auld Lang Syne

2017 quickly draws to a close and I am grateful for the many creative opportunities afforded me this past year. I am especially grateful for WordPress and it’s unique writing platform. This blog has been a bit of a respite from the “real world” – a place where I can share my thoughts on art […]

THANK YOU!

THANK YOU to all those who attended or promoted my lectures this year! In 2017, we covered a lot of art history – from Frida to Vincent, from Artemisia Gentileschi to the Guerrilla Girls, from flower crowns to Mark Rothko – we did it all and we did it together. My gratitude to the Winter Garden […]

Modern Art Madness!

I am so very pleased to announce a brand new, three-part lecture series coming to SoBo Gallery March 2018 – Modern Art Madness! Inspired in part by the upcoming exhibition at The Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, FL – Dali/Duchamp – this series will look at the real meanings behind some of Modern Art’s most […]

Kawaii

Kawaii is the Japanese aesthetic of cuteness and I am admittedly a big fan. Chococat is my favorite of the Sanrio characters (like Hello Kitty) and I have a few plush toys of Pusheen (a very fat, round kitty) and Domo (a Japanese pop culture icon). I really wanted to paint something super cute before […]

Marvel

I am not ashamed to admit that pop culture plays a significant role in my artwork. I know a number of artists who have rejected the idea of painting pop culture references, but I truly enjoy it. For me, it is not just a way of paying tribute to my favorite fandoms, but an opportunity […]
