“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, […]

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 […]

THANK YOU!

As 2017 comes to a close, I would like to thank all those who supported me and my artwork this year. If you bought a painting or collage – THANK YOU! If you attended an opening – THANK YOU! If you shared one of my posts or hit the “like” or “❤️” button on social […]

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 […]

Shop Small & Shop Local!

THANK YOU to the many small businesses throughout Central Florida who choose to showcase the work of local artists. I am so grateful for these partnerships and I encourage everyone to shop small and shop local this holiday season. If you can support an artist in your community – do that, too! This December, you […]

“Loving Vincent” at the Golden Globes

The 2018 Golden Globe nominations were announced yesterday and “Loving Vincent” was nominated for Best Animated Film! I was fortunate enough to see this film twice in the theaters and I will purchase the film when it is released on Blu-Ray in January. It is a film that can change your life – if you […]

“Mushu”

“Mushu” is the companion piece to the “Figment” painting I shared a few blog posts ago. While “Figment” has already sold, “Mushu” is currently on view at Thai Purple Orchid Cafe and Grocery in Orlando, FL. It is included in their current art show, “Dragons and Geishas Theater,” which will be on view through January […]

Thank you for Stocking Up!

Thank you to Every Nook & Cranny and to The Cellar Door for organizing a night of wine and art! This time of year, we are bombarded with sales, coupons, discounts, emails, commercials and fliers encouraging us to shop, shop, shop. I even saw one commercial that blatantly said, “We turn feelings into jewelry.” I […]
