I decided to change my planned post for today to something completely different due to time sensitivity. Today’s post will highlight the Abstract Expressionism show at the Tampa Museum of Art because it closes on August 11 and if you haven’t seen it, you should. I saw this show this weekend and it is really […]
Read more "Abstract Expressionism"“Blurred Lines” is a Netflix documentary I referenced very heavily in my class, The Art World: TODAY. It is a rare in-depth look at the art world that pulls no punches and plays out almost like a dark thriller. With an emphasis on the role money plays in the art world at large, the filmmakers […]

Read more "Lydia Cassatt Reading the Morning Paper"The current art exhibition on view at SoBo Gallery in Winter Garden, FL is titled “Concealed and Revealed” and features local artists interpreting the concepts of concealment and revelation – obviously.

Read more "Concealed & Revealed"2019 is finally here and I am SO ready to talk about ART! The image attached to this post is an example of a small portion of research I have been doing for all the incredible projects I have planned for the year. At this very moment I am researching novels and books for this […]
Read more "Welcome to 2019!"When I am thinking about researching and producing new lectures and classes, I try to be organic, for lack of a better word. I think about the things I like to study.
