It’s almost time for the Art Lovers Book Club! Saturday, June 9th kicks off the first ever summer book club hosted by the Winter Garden Art Association. I hope you’ll join me for a rousing discussion of the book Girl with a Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier. Through the eyes of Chevalier’s protagonist, Griet, we […]
Read more "Summer Book Club"The second week of the Orlando Fringe is well underway and, despite constant rain for nine days straight, spirits are still high. In fact, multiple shows are already selling out! I am also pleased to report that this year’s Visual Fringe features the work of 60 local artists which amounts to 140+ pieces of artwork. […]
Read more "United We Fringe"If you are one of the few who has not yet seen the Disney Pixar film “Coco,” then you are missing out on one of the most hilarious “cameos” in a recent film. “Coco” is the story of a young boy who is transported to The Land of the Dead on Dia de los Muertos. […]
Read more "Frida Kahlo in “Coco”"Have you ever heard of Berthe Morisot? Morisot was a highly acclaimed French Impressionist who was admired and respected by her peers. Her hero was Camille Corot and her brother-in-law was Edouard Manet. Her work appeared in every Impressionist show, but one – that year she was pregnant. One can view this painting by Morisot, […]

Read more "Out Wandering"Today is Wednesday and that means a continuation of the ongoing saga of the Cosmic Fish! Today I’d like to share Lionel’s story… He knew he should shrug it off and continue on his merry way, but he just couldn’t let it go. It was a matter of principle!

Read more "Meet Lionel!"Today is Wednesday and that means a continuation of the ongoing saga of the Cosmic Fish! Today I’d like to share Hershel’s story… He couldn’t believe his eyes!
